62

What is the state symbol for a solid?

63
Q

What is the state symbol for a liquid?

64
Q

What is the state symbol for a gas?

65
Q

What is the state symbol for aqueous?

66
Q

What are the 3 steps to follow when forming ionic and half equations?

A
  1. Write a balanced symbol equation - with states
  2. Separate the ions into single elements and add the charges
  3. Delete the species that appear exactly the same on both sides (should now be 2 charged elements per side)
    FOR HALF EQUATIONS ONLY: Balance charges of the 2 elements on either side by expressing the number of electrons which would need to be added to form a neutrally charged atom
67
Q

What does reactivity depend on?

A

Tendency to form metal ions

68
Q

What does OILRIG stand for?

A

Reduction is Gain of electrons

69

Metal Oxide

70
Q

A

Metal Hydroxide + Hydrogen

71
Q

Metal + Acid —>

A

Metal Salt + Hydrogen

72
Q

What is the equation for neutralisation?

A

H+ + OH- –> H20

73
Q

What is the neutral pH?

74
Q

Are hydrogen ions positive or negative?

A

Always positive

75
Q

Are hydroxide ions positive or negative?

A

Always negative

76
Q

How do strong acids ionise?

A

Strong acid completely ionises in water - all molecules split up into ions and stay split up so it breaks down fully into its ions. Remember hydrogen ions are always positive

77
Q

How do weak acids ionise?

A

Weak acids only partially ionise in water. Only 2 of the acid molecules usually split apart. The number of H+ ions is much less, so the pH of the acid will be higher

78
Q

What is the function of cyolite?

A

Reduces the melting point

79
Q

Which electrode is positive?

80
Q

Which electrode is negative?

81
Q

Which electrode attracts positive metal ions?

A

Cathode (Cations)

82
Q

Which electrode attracts negative metal ions?

A

Anode (Anions)

83
Q

What are the top 3 most reactive metals?

A

Potassium, Sodium, Calcium

84
Q

What are the only 4 elements less reactive than Hydrogen?

A

Copper, Silver, Gold, Platinum

85
Q

What is a displacement reaction?

A

When a more reactive metal is reacted with a compound containing a less reactive metal it will replace that metal in the compound

86
Q

What are the 4 signs of chemical change for displacement reactions?

A

Bubbles, temperature change, precipitate (solid forming), colour change

87
Q

When are metals more reactive?

A

If they lose outer shell electrons more easily

88
Q

What are examples of neutral (pH 7) substances?

A

Pure water

89
Q

What are examples of basic/alkaline (pH 8-14) substances?

A

Bleach, soap, baking soda

90
Q

What are examples of acidic (pH 0-6) substances?

A

Lemon, stomach acid, milk

91
Q

What happens when acidic substances dissolve in water?

A

When acidic substances dissolve in water they dissociate - the acid breaks apart to release hydrogen (H+) ions (ionising)

92
Q

What type of substance has an excess of H+ ions?

93
Q

What type of substance has an excess of OH- ions?

A

Alkaline/base

94
