What is an alkali?
8-14 on the ph scale and turns universal indicator blue
What will a base do?
It will neutralise an acid
What is an ion?
An atom with a charge and a full outer shell
What is a displacement reaction?
Where one reactant is more reactive than the other so the less reactive one is displaced
How do you make a soluble salt?
(RPA)
Start with a fixed volume of sulfuric acid - limiting reactant
Gently heat the acid until almost boiling
Use a spatula to add small amounts of copper oxide to the acid
Stir the solution with a glass rod
Continue adding copper oxide if the solution continues to be clear blue
Stop adding copper oxide if powder remains after stirring
Use filtration to filter the unreacted copper oxide
Place solution in an evaporating basin and heat gently over a beaker of boiling water until only half the solution is remaining
Leave solution for 24 hours in a cool place for crystals to form
Scrape crystals onto a paper towel and gently pat them dry
