Q

Define strength of acid.

A
  1. ability, acid, release hydrogen ion (acidity)
  2. weaker acid, release less H+ ion
  3. yet releases same vol., H2 gas
  4. hence rate of reaction decreases

(less H+ ion released, therefore less no. collision, therefore less freq of effective collision)

Q

Why dosen’t lead react/not react with dilute HCl and H2SO4?

A

LINK
It partially reacts.

REASON
- insoluble layer forms, prevents further reaction

Q

Volume of gas released affected by ___ of acid?

Study These Flashcards
A

Basicity of acid.

Find out basicity by writing balanced eqn.

Strength of acid based on reversible/non reversible, and will only affect no. of H+ ions released, NOT vol of h2 released

22
Q

Define alkali

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Substance that produce OH- ions when dissolve in water
  • Base soluble in water
23
Q

alkalis to memorise

Study These Flashcards
A
  • aqueous ammonia nh3 (aq)

NH4 OH is rejected!! will penalise if write that. Use nh3 (aq) for aqueous ammonia

24
Q

5 Properties of alkali

Study These Flashcards
A
  • bitter taste
  • feel slippery
  • conduct electricity in (aq) state
  • turn universal indicator towards violet
  • pH 8-14
  • turns red litmus paper blue
25
Are alkalis corrosive?
- Yes, for Conc. forms of strong alkalis
26
2 irl Uses of alkali
- toothpaste - antacid
27
in neutral solution, what is the concentration of H+ ions and OH- ions?
Conc. of H+ ions = Conc. of OH- ions ## Footnote Common misconception: There are no ions -> THIS IS NOT TRUE!! **ACTUALLY, THERE ARE EQUAL CONC. OF H+ and OH- IONS**
28
What does pH actually measure?
- conc. of H+, OH- ions
29
when pH>7, what can be concluded about conc. of H+ and OH- ions?
H+ ions < OH- ions ## Footnote alt. answer: OH- ions > H+ ions
30
conc. vs strength
**conc:** amt of dissolved substance - can be changed - dilute/conc. - affect rate of reaction - if its limiting will affect vol. of gas release **strength:** ease of dissociation of acid molecules - fixed in every acid - strong/weak - will **NOT** affect total vol of gas release - affects vol. of gas released in fixed period of time no such thing as "very strong" | olvl syllablus only "strong" or "weak"
31
which one reacts more? X reacts readily to Y Z reacts vigorously to Y
Z reacts more. Vigorously > Readily in terms of reaction
32
Write the eqn. for ionisation of HOCL (Hypochlorous acid) given that it is a weak acid
HOCL ⇌ H+ + OCl- **Must add charges. This is ionisation**
33
# magnesium is a **metal** weak acid vs strong acid **with same amount of H+ ions released upon dissolving in water** reaction w/ magnesium differences, similarities
difference: - weak acid releases lower conc., H+ ions similarity: - weak acid releases **same vol of gas as strong acid (only if same amt of H+)**
34
Which keywords signalises an alkali?
**LINK**: Alkali is base that is soluble in water ammo**nium**/(grp1) oxide/hydroxide
35
ammonium vs ammonia full list of differences
**nium** - only found in salt - all states **nia** - base - gas/(aq) state - default state: gas - NH3 ## Footnote **LINK** - all bases can dissociate in water and will give out OH- (hydroxide ions)
36
I have weak acid X. What can I conclude about it?
- reactions, reversible - undergo partial ionisation when dissolve -> water ## Footnote **Not all weak acids have Carbon inside of them, but all acids that are organic (have Carbon) are weak acids**
37
How to identify Acidic oxides
All non-metal oxides - So2, So3, SiO2 e.g. **except for** - NO, CO, H2O ## Footnote no cold water NO CO H2O
38
Define oxide?
compound formed from oxygen w/ other element/compounds ## Footnote Any chemical formula containing **oxygen** (can be o, O2, O3...)
39
How to identify Neutraic Oxides
NO CO H2O ## Footnote No Cold Water **Does not apply to other higher subscript oxide formulas** i.e. CO is neutraic but Co2, Co3 isnt i.e. NO is neutraic, but No2 isnt. *unrelated: N2 is neutral (**btw n2 isn't an oxide, no oxygen in formula**)
40
Acidic oxides 1 chem 2 phys property
- React w/ alkali to form salt, water - usually **GAS** at r.t.p. - soluble, water ## Footnote acts like any other acid, can jst react with any other alkali.
41
Neutraic oxide properties
- does **NOT** react w acid/alkali
42
ALL ___ oxides are basic oxide?
*all* **metal** oxides are basic - e.g. Na2O, MgO, Fe2O3... except Zn Al Pb ## Footnote ZAP
43
Properties of basic oxides 2 phys properties 1 chem property
- Usually solid in r.t.p. - **insouble** in water **except** (Grp1) oxides - react w/ acids, form salt+ water ## Footnote **Ammonium oxide does not exsist.** **MISCONCEPTION** Base needs to dissolve to react. Nope! It just dosen't show alkali properties. Still will react.
44
Amphoteric Oxides
Zn Al Pb ## Footnote ZAP
45
Properties of Amphoteric Oxides
- insoluble in water - show both basic acidic properties ## Footnote Zn Al Pb (ZAP)
46
Acid XH₂ complete ionisation __ basic acid.
XH₂ -> X2- + 2H+ ## Footnote dibasic 2H+
47
does base need to dissolve to react with acid
**MISCONCEPTION** Base needs to be (aq) to react **ACTUAL** Nope! Insol. base dosen't show alkali properties. Still will react. **WHERE IS THIS USED IN?** i.e. excess solid reactant method aq. acid + **insoluble** base **HOWEVER** acid needs to be (aq). Acid **CANNOT** be solid.
48
nitric acid or HCl **Stronger** acid?
Nitric acid
49
define base
metal oxides, react w/ acids -> salt + Water
50
ammonia (aq) + acid reaction whats atypical, and why?
1. acid + Nh3 (aq) -> ammonium salt 2. no water, Nh3(aq) no hydroxide group
51
pH scale indicator for what
pH scale: measure relative acidity/alkalinity indicator: mixture substaces, shows diff colours, diff pH
52
how particles act when dissolved
1. ___, ___ ions/atoms/molecules separated far from each other 2. moving at random, amongst closely packed h2o molecules '
