18
Q

what is reduction

A

the gain of electrons

19
Q

what does extracting a metal depend on

A

how easy it is to extract
how much metal the ore contains
the changing demands for the particular metal

20
Q

why do we often use carbon to extract some metal oxides

A

it is more reactive than the metals

21
Q

what is the word equation for the reaction of carbon with a metal oxide

A

metal oxide + carbon -> metal + carbon dioxide

22
Q

why is gold often found in its native state

A

because it’s incredibly unreactive

23
Q

how are metals extracted that are more reactive than carbon

A

by electrolysis of their molten metal compound

24
Q

what is a salt

A

a compound formed when the hydrogen atom is wholly or partially replaced by metal (or ammonium) ions

25
Q

what is the word equation for the production of salts

A

metal + acid -> salt + hydrogen

26
Q

why are alkali metals never added to acid

A

the reaction would be too violent to be carried out safely

27
Q

what salts are formed when you react a metal with HYDROCHLORIC ACID

A

chlorides (containing Cl- ions)

28
Q

what salts are formed when you react a metal with SULFURIC ACID

A

sulfates (containing SO4^2- ions)

29
Q

what salts are formed when you react a metal with NITRIC ACID

A

nitrates (containing NO3- ions)

30
Q

what is a redox reaction

A

a reaction where both oxidation and reduction take place

31
Q

how is the reaction between a metal and an acid a redox reaction

A

metal ions lose electrons (oxidised)
hydrogen ions from acid gain electrons (reduced)

32
Q

what are bases

A

compounds that can neutralise acids

33
Q

what is the word equation for neutralisation

A

acid + base -> salt + water

34
Q

what do the sum of charges on ions in a salt add up to

A

0

35
Q

how would you collect a pure dry sample of crystals of a salt

A

carry out titration with indicator
run that volume of acid into solution but without indicator
crystallise and dry the crystals of the salt

36
Q

what is the word equation for the reaction of an acid with a carbonate

A

acid + carbonate -> salt + water + carbon dioxide

37
Q

what are soluble hydroxides called

A

alkalis

38
Q

what are bases

A

substances that can neutralise acids

39
Q

what colour do alkalis go (using a universal indicator)

A

blue-purple

40
Q

what colour do acids go (using a universal indicator)

A

red-yellow

41
Q

what are carboxylic acids

A

weak acids

42
Q

what is hydrochloric acid

A

a strong acid

43
Q

what happens to hydrogen ion concentration when ph decreases by one unit

A

the hydrogen ion concentration increases by a factor of 10 (one order of magnitude)
