21
Q

What is pH of acids?

22
Q

what is the pH of bases?

23
Q

give 3 properties of bases.

A
  • slippery in touch.
  • bitter in taste.
  • pH above 7.
24
Q

give 3 properties of acids.

A
  • sour taste (when edible)
  • are corrosive
  • pH below 7.
25
Q

State the colour indicator of acids and bases for litmus paper.

A
  • acids : turn litmus paper red.
  • bases : turn litmus paper blue.
26
Q

Give the equation for the reaction of acids with metal.

A

Acid + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen

27
Q

Give the equation for the reaction of acids with bases.

A

Acid + Base → Salt + Water

28
Q

Give the equation for the reaction of acids with metal carbonates.

A

Acid + Metal Carbonate → Salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water

29
Q

Give the equation for the reaction of bases with ammonium salt.

A

Base + Ammonium salt → Salt + Ammonia + Water

30
Q

What is an acid?

A

An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ions, H +(aq), when dissolved in water

31
Q

What is a base?

A

An alkali is a substance that produces hydroxide ions, OH -(aq), when dissolved in water.

32
Q

What is the importance of controlling acidity in soil?

A

If it is too alkaline or acidic, the crops won’t grow properly. Acidity is usually the problem for soil, so a base can help neutralise it. Bases like limestone, slaked lime, or quick lime are usually sprayed in the soil to neutralise it before planting crops.

33
Q

What is the pH number and colour for neutral?

34
Q

what pH colour is a strong acid?

35
Q

what pH colour is a strong base?

A

dark blue/purple

36
Q

how are acidic oxides formed?

A

when a non-metal element combines with oxygen

37
Q

how are basic oxides formed?

A

when a metal element combines with oxygen

38
Q

what are neutral oxides?

A

oxides that do not react with either acids, nor bases.

39
Q

what are amphoteric oxides?

A

oxides that can behave as both acidic and basic depending on whether the other reactant is an acid or a base.
