CHEMICAL CHANGES Flashcards
What are the two ways you can test the ph of a solution
universal indicator and a ph probe
what does a ph probe give you the ph as
an numerical value
when acids dissolve in water what do they form
H+ ions
when alkalis dissolve in water what do they from
OH- ions
what is the neutralisation equation
acid + Base ——– salt + water
acid + base =
salt + water
neutralisation symbol equation
(H+) + OH- —— H2O
what does an acid and an alkali make
water which is neutral
when a acid neutralises a base the products are…..
neutral
strong acids…
fully ionise in water
in strong acids all acid particles….
dissociate to release H+ ions
examples of strong acids
sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid
weak acids…
partially ionise in water
in weak acids…. (particles)
only a small amount of acid particles dissociate to release H+ ions
examples of weak acids
ethanoic, citric and carbonic
symbol for hydrochloric acid
HCL
symbol for nitric acid
HNO3
symbol for sulfuric acid
H2SO4
pH is a measure of….
the concentration of H+ ions
acid + metal oxide =
salt + water
