When an acid reacts with a base, what occurs?
A neutralisation
What is a salt and hownis it formed?
A compound, when the hydrogen ions in an acid is wholly or partially replaced by metal ammonium ions
What is a base?
A metal oxide or hydroxide that can neutralise an acid to make a salt plus water
What are alkalines
Bases which are soluble in water(can be dissolved)
How do you know of something is an alkaki(opposite of an acid- a high pH)
if it ends in oxide or hydroxide
A base that is soluble in water
Do alkalines disolve in water
Yes
What are acids?
Substances that react with water to release H+ ions
How do you know the pH level of a substance?
The more H+ ions the more acidic the substance is
The more h+, the lower on the pH scale
How do we know if something is an acid
It will have H+ ions
How do we know if something is an alkaline?
It will have H- ions
Metal + water
Metal hydroxide + hydrogen
In terms of electrons, what is oxidation?
Loss of electrons
