Q

What is pH just a measure of?

A

How acidic or alkaline a solution is

17
Q

What are some ways you can measure pH?

A

Using indicators
A pH probe connected to a pH meter

18
Q

What is the benefit of the pH probe compared to the indicators when meauring pH?

A

More accurate and precise as doesnt require human judgement

19
Q

20
Q

What do neutralisation reactions always produce?

A

Salt and water

21
Q

What pH would a neutralisation reaction produce?

A

A neutral pH of 7

22
Q

What are the 3 common acids? And what are their formulas?

A

Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
Nitric acid (HNO3)

23
Q

What are the 2 common bases? And what are their formulas?

A

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3)

24
Q

What makes an acid strong?

A

If the ionise completely

25
Q

What does the term ‘ionise completely’ when talking about strong acids?

A

The reactants turn completely into products

26
Q

As the concentration of hydrogen ions gets higher, the pH gets _______

A

Lower

27
Q

Does a low pH have a high or low concentration of hydrogen ions?

A

High

28
Q

What is the product of an acid + a metal carbonate?

A

Salt + water + CO2

29
Q

Explain how you would carry out the making of soluble salts using an insoluble base experiment?

A

1.Place dilute HCL acid into a beaker and gently heat with a bunsen burner
2.Then keep adding an insoluble base a bit at a time until the base no longer disappears
3.Filter out excess base and put the solution in a water bath
4. Stop when you see crystals and leave it to cool

30
Q

Explain how you would carry out the making of soluble salts using an insoluble base experiment?

A

Place dilute HCL acid into a beaker and gently heat with a bunsen burner
Then keep adding an insoluble base a bit at a time until the base no longer disappears

31
Q

In the making soluble salts using an insoluble base experiment, what does it mean when the base is no longer dissapearing?

A

All of the acid has been neutralised

32
Q

When we talk about the reactivity of a metal, what does it mean in terms of ions?

A

How easily it forms positive ions

33
Q

What is oxidation?

A

The process of gaining oxygen

34
Q

What is reduction?

A

The loss of oxygen

35
Q

What do relative reactions of metals with water produce?

A

A metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas

36
Q

What does OIL RIG stand for?

A

Oxidation is loss (of electrons)
Reduction is gain (of electrons)
