Chemical Changes Flashcards
What do Strong acids give off in aqueous solutions?
Hydrogen ion (H+)
What do alkalis give off in aqueous solutions?
Hydroxide ions (OH−)
What is a Strong Acid?
Are completely ionised in aqueous solutions.
What is a Weak Acid?
Are partially ionised in aqueous solutions.
What is the positive electrode called?
Anode
What is the negative electrode called?
Cathode
What is the positive ion called and which electrode does it go to?
Cations
They go to the Cathode (Negative electrode)
What is the negative ion called and which electrode does it go to?
Anions
They go to the Anode (Positive electrode)
How can you produce a soluble salt?
Reacting acids with solid insoluble substances (e.g metals, metal oxides, hydroxides and carbonates)
