Chemical Changes Flashcards
pH 0-5 is?
ACID
pH 9-14 is?
ALKALIS
what are the different ways you can work out pH of a solution?
- universal indicator
- pH probe ( more accurate that indicator as it gives a numerical value)
acid + base
—–> salt + water
what ions do acids form in water ?
H+
neutralisation between acids and alkali?
H+ + OH- ——> H20
what is a base ?
any substance that will react with an acid to form a salt
what is titration used for ?
used to find concentration
what is the difference between strong and weak acids when reacting with water ?
strong acids FULLY IONISE
weak acids DO NOT fully ionise
what does acid strength tell you?
what proportion of the acid molecules ionise in water
what does the acid concentration tell you?
measures how much acid there is in a certain volume of water
the larger the amount of acid there is in a certain volume the more concentrated the acid is
ACID + METAL OXIDE
= SALT + WATER
ACID + METAL HYDROXIDE
= SALT + WATER
increasing acid concentration will do what to the pH?
DECREASE pH
TRUE or FALSE
you can have a concentrated but weak acid and a dilute but strong acid?
TRUE
