CH6 Flashcards
Definition of Acid
Chemical substances that ionises in water to produce hydrogen ions
Definition of alkali
Chemical substance that ionises in water to produce Hydroxide ions
Definition of basicity of acid
Number Hydrogen ions produced by one acid molecule that ionises in water
Why does acid not show acidic properties without water
Without water, acid does not ionises to produce hydrogen Ion
Acids only exist as molecules
Hydrogen ion does not move freely
Why does alkali not show alkaline properties without water
Without water, alkaline does not ionises to produce Hydroxide Ions
Alkali Exist as molecules
Hydroxide ion does not move freely
Definition of Ph Value
Logarithmic measure of concentration of Hydrogen ion in an aqueous solution
Definition of strong acid
Acids that ionises completely in water to produce high concentration of Hydrogen Ions
Definition of strong alkali
Alkali that ionises completely in water to produce high concentration of Hydroxide Ions
Definition of weak acid
Acids that ionises partially in water to produce low concentration of Hydrogen Ions
Definition of weak alkali
Alkali that ionises partially in water to produce high concentration of Hydroxide Ions
Definition of degree of ionisation
Strength of acid or alkali to ionises in water
Product of Reaction between base and acid
Water and salt only
Product of Reaction between acid and metal carbonate
Salt, Water, Carbon Dioxide gas
Product of Reaction between acid and reactive Metal
Hydrogen gas, Salt
Product of Reaction between Alkali and Ammonium Salt
Ammonia Gas, Salt, Water
Product of Reaction between Alkali and metal Ions
Insoluble metal hydroxide precipitate
Definition of Concentration of solution
Measurement of Quantity of solutes dissolved in a unit volume of solution
Definition of Molarity
Number of moles of solutes found in 1dm^3 of a solution
Definition of Standard Solution
A solution with known concentration
2 Important Parameters when preparing a standard solution
Mass Of Solute
Volume of Distilled Water
Why is Sodium Hydroxide not suitable for standard solution
Hygroscopic
Explanation of Dilution Method
Distilled water is added to aqueous solution to alter concentration of the solution
Definition Neutralisation
Reaction between an acid and a base to produce water and salt only
Is Bee sting acidic
yes
is wasp sting acidic
no. it is alkaline
Definition of Titration Method
Quantitative analysis method to determine volume of acid needed to completely neutralise a given volume of alkali and vice versa
Definition of end point of Titration method
The point in titration where acid-base indicator change colour after all hydrogen ions completely neutralise hydroxide ions to produce water molecule
Definition of Salt
Ionic compound formed when Hydrogen ions of an acid is replaced with metal ions or ammonium ion
use of Ammonium Nitrate
Fertiliser
use of Iron ii sulphate
pesticides
use of Calcium Sulphate
Plaster of Paris
use of Potassium Manganate (VII)
antiseptic to treat wounds
use of sodium chloride
flavor
Use of sodium bicarbonate
raising dough
use of sodium benzoate
Preserve chili tomato and oyster source
use of Sodium nitrate
preserve processed food
