1
Q

What does pH mean?*

A

Amount of hydrogen ions present in solution.
More hydrogen ion present lower pH value, more acidic
Less hydrogen ion present higher pH value, more alkali

Q

Compare the rate of reaction for strong and weak acids?

A

The rate of reaction is greater for strong acids due to increased concentration of H ions

Q

What is the differences between strong acids and concentrated acids?

A

The concentrated acids are how many particles there are in a given volume, strength determines ionising ability

23
Q

What happens when a metal reacts with an acid?

A

acid + metal = salt + hydrogen

24
Q

How can you determine rate?

A

Rate is determined by how many bubbles produced per minute.

25
Q

What happens when a metal reacts with water?

A

metal + water = metal hydroxide + hydrogen

26
Q

What is oxidation?

A

Gain of oxygen
Loss of electrons
Loss of hydrogen

27
Q

What is reduction?

A

Loss of Oxygen
Gain of electrons
Gain of hydrogen

28
Q

Oxidation example?

A

2MG+02=2MgO

29
Q

Reduction example?

A

2CuO+C = 2Cu + CO2

30
Q

What is generated when iron oxide becomes reduced with carbon?

A

2Fe2SO3 + 3C = 4Fe + 3CO3

31
Q

What is a redox reaction?

A

The loss of electrons and gain of electrons at the same time

32
Q

Displacement reactions, word, symbol and ionic equation between iron and copper sulphate.

A

Iron + copper sulphate = iron sulphate + copper
Fe + CuSO4 = FeSO4 + Cu

Fe =Fe2 =+2e- Cu2+ +2e- = Cu

33
Q

What is electrolysis?

A

Electrolysis is the breaking down with the use of electricity.
Positive ions will move towards the cathode and gain electrons
Negative ions will move towards the anode and lose electrons
