Oxidation means
Oxygen added
Reduction means
Oxygen removed
Half equation to show two electrons gained by copper (II)
Cu2+ (aq) + 2e- —> Cu(s
Genereal equation for a metal and an acid
Metal + Acid —> salt + hydrogen
General equation for insoluble bases
Acid + bade –> salt + water
Acids + carbonates
Acid + carbonate —-> salt + water + carbon dioxide
What are bases
Substances that can neutrlise acids. For eg: metal oxides, metal hydroxides
Examples of acids
Citric acid, sulfuric acid, ethanoic acid (in vinegar)
What does 0 show in the Ph scale
Most acidic
What does 14 show in the Ph scale
Most alkaline
What soltuion can you add in to find the Ph of a substance
Universal indicator
Examples of strong acids
HCL, Nitric acid, Sulfuric acid
Examples of weak acids
Ethanoic acids, citric acids, carbonic acids
What factor does H+ ions decrease of for every 1 pH factor
By 10
What is the Conc of h+ ions with a Ph value of 1
0.10
