Chemcial Changes Flashcards
What does pH mean?*
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
What is the pH of pure water
pH 7
What are methods of measuring pH levels
Litmus paper
Universal indicator
pH probe
What type of reaction is it when an acid + base react?
Neutralisation reaction
Word and symbol equation of acids reacting with bases?
acid + alkali = water + salt
H + (OH) = H20`
What is a strong acid?
Full ionise when dissolved in water
What is a weak acid?
Partially ionise when dissolved in water?
What is an example of a strong acid?
HCL
What is an example of a weak acid
Carboxylic acid eg ethanolic
What is the word equation for the disassociation of HCL
HCL =H+CL
Symbol equation of the disassociation of ethanolic acid?
CH3COOH = H+CH3COO
Compare the rate of reaction for strong and weak acids?
The rate of reaction is greater for strong acids due to increased concentration of H ions
What happens to H+ when the pH from 5 lowers to 4?
H+ in solution multiply by 10
What is the differences between strong acids and concentrated acids?
The concentrated acids are how many particles there are in a given volume, strength determines ionising ability
What is the word equation for acid and an metal oxides?
acid + metal oxide = salt + water
Why does this occur?
Metal oxides = bases
What is the word equation for acid and metal hydroxide?
acid + hydroxide = salt + water
What happens when hcl + cuo
HCL + CuO = Copper chloride + water
What is the equation of sulphuric acid + potassium hydroxide?
H2SO4 + K(OH) = potassium sulphuric + water
What happens when acids react with metal carbonates?
acid + carbonate = salt + water + carbon dioxide
What is the reaction between sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid
hydrochloric + sodium chloride = sodium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
What is the reactivity series?
Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Carbon Zinc Iron Hydrogen Copper
What happens when a metal reacts with an acid?
acid + metal = salt + hydrogen
How can you determine rate?
Rate is determined by how many bubbles produced per minute.
What happens when a metal reacts with water?
metal + water = metal hydroxide + hydrogen
What is oxidation?
Gain of oxygen
Loss of electrons
Loss of hydrogen
What is reduction?
Loss of Oxygen
Gain of electrons
Gain of hydrogen
Oxidation example?
2MG+02=2MgO
Reduction example?
2CuO+C = 2Cu + CO2
What is generated when iron oxide becomes reduced with carbon?
2Fe2SO3 + 3C = 4Fe + 3CO3
What is a redox reaction?
The loss of electrons and gain of electrons at the same time
Displacement reactions, word, symbol and ionic equation between iron and copper sulphate.
Iron + copper sulphate = iron sulphate + copper
Fe + CuSO4 = FeSO4 + Cu
Fe =Fe2 =+2e- Cu2+ +2e- = Cu
What is electrolysis?
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
