Q

What is the product and observations when an acid + carbonate reaction takes place?

A

Salt+ Water + Carbon dioxide are produced and effervescence is seen and the carbonate dissolves.

17
Q

What is the product and observations when an acid + hydrogen carbonate reaction takes place?

A

Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide are produced and effervescence is seen and the hydrogen carbonate dissolves.

18
Q

What is the product and observations when an acid + ammonia react?

A

Ammonium salt is produced and there is no visible change unless indicator added

19
Q

What is an Acid-Base titration?

A

A technique used to accurately measure the volume of one solution that reacts exactly with another solution.

20
Q

What are the three purposes of a titration?

A
  1. Finding the concentration of a solution
  2. Identification of any unknown chemicals
  3. Finding the purity of a substance
21
Q

What is a standard solution?

A

A solution of a known concentration

22
Q

When can a titration be stopped?

A

When 3 concordant results are reached

23
Q

What are concordant results?

A

Results within 0.1 cm3 of each other

24
Q

Why is universal indicator not suitable for titrations?

A

It is not suitable for titrations because it does not give a sharp colour change.

25
Q

Why is a white tile used in titration?

A

It is used below the conical flask to see the colour change more clearly.

26
Q

Why are coloured solutions used in titration?

A

They are used to show the end-point of a reaction ( the indicator changes colour quickly over a very small pH range)
