Q

How are metal oxides produced and what type of reaction is it

A

Metals react with oxygen to produce metal oxides. The reactions are oxidation reactions because the metals gain oxygen.

Q

How are metals’ relative reactivity found out and put in a list ( give examples )

A

The metals potassium, sodium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron and copper can be put in order of their reactivity from their reactions with water and dilute acids
The reactions of metals with water and acids are limited to room temperature and do not include reactions with steam

Q

How are metals found in the ground

A

Unreactive metals such as gold are found in the Earth as the metal itself but most metals are found as compounds that require chemical reactions to extract the metal.

Q

What do acids react with some metals to get and what type of reaction is this

A

Acids react with some metals to produce salts and hydrogen
This is a redox reaction
Metals less reactive than hydrogen will not react because they will not displace it from the acid to form a salt

16
Q

What do acids produce in aqueous solutions

A

Acids produce hydrogen ions (H+) in aqueous solutions

17
Q

What do alkalis produce in aqueous solutions

A

Aqueous solutions of alkalis contain hydroxide ions (OH–)

18
Q

What is used to measure acidity or alkalinity

A

The pH scale from 0 - 14
Strong acid : 0
Strong alkali: 14

19
Q

What is the value of neutral on the pH scale

A

pH 7 is neutral

20
Q

What happens in a neutralisation reaction between an acid and alkali

A

In neutralisation reactions between an acid and an alkali, hydrogen ions react with hydroxide ions to produce water
The products are also neutral ( pH 7)

21
Q

What do strong acids do in aqueous solutions

A

A strong acid is completely ionised in aqueous solution. Examples of strong acids are hydrochloric, nitric and sulfuric acids.

22
Q

What do weak acids do in aqueous solutions

A

A weak acid is only partially ionised in aqueous solution, the reaction is reversible. Examples of weak acids are ethanoic, citric and carbonic acids.

23
Q

What happens to the hydrogen ion concentration as the pH decreases

A

As the pH decreases by one unit, the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution increases by a factor of 10
For a decrease on tbe pH scale by 2, the concentration of hydrogen ions increases by a factor of 100

24
Q

What is different about the terms dilute/ concentrated and weak/ strong

A

Dilute/ concentrated refers to the amount of substance

Weak/ strong refers to the degree of ionisation

25
Q 
What are the symbols for the following ions: 
Ammonium
Nitrate
Sulfate
Carbonate
Phosphate
A 
Ammonium: NH4+
Nitrate: NO3-
Sulfate: SO42-
Carbonate: CO32-
Phosphate: PO4 3-
26
Q

Whats the rule/ equation with pH change and H+ concentration change

A

Factor H+ ion concetration changes by = 10^-x

x being the different in pH

27
Q

Metal + acid

A

Salt + hydrogen

28
Q

Metal + water

A

Metal hydroxide + hydrogen
