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
