C5 Flashcards
An acid + base = ?
Acid + base = salt + water
Acid + alkali = ?
Acid + alkali = salt + water
Acid + metal carbonate =?
Acid + metal carbonate = salt + water + carbon dioxide
Acid + metal oxide =?
Acid + metal oxide = salt + water
Acid + reactive metal = ?
Acid + reactive metal = salt + hydrogen
Acid + ammonia =
Acid + ammonia = ammonium salt
What pH is a strong acid, how much dissociation occurs?
0pH - 2pH = strong acid
100% H+ dissociation from base solution
What pH is a weak acid, how much dissociation occurs?
3pH - 5pH = weak acid
>100% H+ dissociation from base solution
Often reversible
What pH is a weak alkali, how much dissociation occurs?
9pH - 11pH = weak alkali
>100% OH- dissociation from base solution
Often reversible
What pH is a strong alkali and how much dissociation occurs?
12pH - 14pH =strong alkali
100% OH- dissociation
What is an ore?
a mineral or rock that contains a useful subastnace whaich is mined for profit
What happens during oxidation?
Loss of electron which is transfered to another atom, often involves the addition of oxygen and loss of H+ ions
What happens during reduction?
when a compound gains an electron, loses oxygen or gaisn a H+ ion
What is a displacement reaction?
a type of chemical reaction which displaces a less reactive element from its compound
