chem - quiz 2 - 2022 Flashcards
For swap and drop: how do you know the charge of the element?
The groups (18) determine the valence electrons - hence determining the charge.
What is nitrate?
NO3 ^-1
What is sulphate?
SO4^-2
What is phosphate?
PO4^-3
What is cyanate?
CN^-1
What is carbonate?
CO3^-2
What is a synthesis reaction?
the building up of compounds by combining elements (when two reactants form new product/s)
What is a decomposition reaction?
the break down of compounds into simpler substances - often requires energy in the form of electricity or heat energy
What is an acid?
It has a pH level of less than 7 - they taste sour and turn litmus paper red. All acids donate a H+ ion to a base.
What is a base?
It has a pH level of greater than 7, all bases has a bitter taste, feel slippery and turn litmus paper blue. A base is any compound that yields hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.
What is a neutralised reaction?
When an acid and a base are mixed together, the H+ and the OH- combine to make water, the remaining ions form a metal salt. Water is considered neutral (pH of 7)
Acid + metal = ?
Acid + metal = salt + hydrogen
Acid + base = ?
Acid + base = water + salt
Acid + carbonate = ?
Acid + carbonate = salt + water + carbon dioxide
Acid + metal oxide = ?
Acid + metal oxide = metal salt + water
