Chapter 4: Acids And Redox (4.1-4.3) Flashcards

1
Q

What is the difference between a strong and a weak acid?

A

A strong acid completely dissociates in solution and released all its hydrogen atoms into solution but a weak acid only partially dissociates and releases some of its H+ atoms into solution.

Q

What happens when you add a base and an acid?

A

The base neutralises the acid to form a salt and water.

Q

What happens in neutralisation in terms of ions?

A

The H+ ions from the acid are replaced by metal or ammonium ions from the base.

Q

How do you make a standard solution?

A

1) Weigh solid
2) Dissolve solid in distilled water below the mark
3) Transfer solution to volumetric flash (RINSE THE BEAKER WITH DISTILLED WATER)
4) Fill flask to graduation line with distilled water (AVOID PARALLAX ERROR)
5) INVERT VOLUMETRIC FLASK SEVERAL TIMES - mixes solution

Q

How many decimal places does a burette reading have?

A

It is measured to the nearest 0.05, so it has to be either a 0 or 5 and has to be measured to 2 decimal places.

Q

Describe the procedure of an acid base titration

A

1) Add 25cm[3] (pipette) of alkali to conical flask
2) Add acid to burette and measure reading
3) Add indicator to the conical flask
4) Run the acid into the alkali until the indicator changes colour
5) Record the final burette reading
6) Quick trial titration to get approximate titre
7) Repeated accurately, adding solution dropwise we end point approaches until two accurate titres are concordant.

Q

How do you know the oxidation number of the ion of an element ?

A

It is the same as the ionic charge but the sign comes before the number

Q

Describe oxidation and reduction in terms of oxygen

A

Oxidation is the addition of oxygen and reduction is removal of oxygen

17
Q

Describe oxidation and reduction in terms of electrons

A

Oxidation is losing, reduction is gaining (OIL RIG)

18
Q

Describe oxidation and reduction in terms of oxidation numbers

A

Reduction is a decreases in oxidation number but oxidation is an increase in oxidation number
