C8 Acids And Alkalis Flashcards
State the pH of a strong acid, strong alkali and neutral solution
1,14,7
State three different indicators.
Litmus paper, universal indicator, methyl orange, phenolphthalein.
Identify the indicator which turns pink in shampoo.
Shampoo is alkaline, phenolphthalein
State the polyatomic ion formed when sulphuric acid dissociates.
SO4 2-
The ____________ the pH the higher the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution.
Lower
If the concentration of hydrogen ions increases by 1000 fold and the end result was pH 2, what pH did the first solution have?
1000 fold increase = 3 steps on the pH scale… pH5
True or false there are no ions present in pH7 pure water.
False thee are equal numbers of hydroxide and hydrogen ions at low concentrations
Strong acids…
Fully dissociate
Weak acids…
Partially dissociate
Name 3 strong acids
Hydrochloric, metric, sulphuric
Name 3 weak acids
Boric, carbonic, ethanoic.
Tin oxide is a base, describe how you would make tin chloride in a neutralisation reaction.
Mix excess tin oxide with hydrochloric acid, filter off excess. Rinse filter paper with distilled water, heat tin chloride solution in evaporating dish.
Why is it critical to use excess copper oxide when making copper sulphate crystals in a neutralisation reaction?
So that all of the acid is neutralised.
Nitrate ion
NO3 -1
Charge of a sulphate ion
SO4 2-
Charge of a carbonate ion
CO3 2-
