Chapter 6 - Acids, bases and salts Flashcards
Acid + alkali ➡️
Salt + water (neutralisation)
Acid + metal oxide ➡️
Salt + water
Acid + metal carbonate ➡️
Salt + water + carbon dioxide
Acid + metal hydrogen carbonate ➡️
Salt + water + carbon dioxide
Alkalis produce
OH- ions
Making salts from metals or insoluble bases
Gradually add a metal or insoluble base to acid until all acid has reacted. Filter mixture to remove excess solid reactant to leave a solution of is salt when water is evaporated and it crystallises.
Ionic equation for neutralisation
H+ (aq) +OH- (aq) ➡️ H2 (l)
Precipitation
Removes metal ions from industrial wastewater.
Insoluble salts formed by
Mixing solutions of soluble salts that contain the ions needed
Limestone
Damaged by acid rain as the calcium carbonate reacts with the acid. Calcium hydroxide solution = limewater.
Thermal decomposition
Breakdown by heating
Titration (x6)
Pierre measures volume of alkali to put into conical flask and indicator is added. Swirl conical flask to mix. Pour acid into burette after washing with distilled water, record reading and open tap to release small amount of acid into conical flask, swirl, repeat until indicator changes colour. Record burette reading to get vol acid used. X3 and work out avg.
Acid + metal ➡️
Salt + hydrogen
