Chemical changes and energies Flashcards
Mnemonic to try remember reactivity series
Please stop calling me a careless zebra instead try learning how copper saves gold
What colour is copper sulphate
blue
What colour is copper
bronze
What is Reduction
the gaining of electrons
What is Oxidation
the loss of electrons
What is the Mnemonic for REDOX reactions
oil rig
What happens with a metal with an acid
salt and hydrogen
what happens to Alkaline and basses in water
Alkaline dissolve in water bases do not dissolve in water
what happens acid and base
salt + water
Equation for the reaction between copper (II) oxide and dilute sulfuric acid
CuO (s) + H 2 SO 4 (aq) CuSO 4 (aq) + H 2 O (l)
what happens when acids react with metal carbonates. ?
A salt, water and carbon dioxide are produced
carbonate → salt + water + carbon dioxide
Endothermic reactions
Endothermic reactions take in energy and the temperature of the surroundings decreases.
Bond breaking = energy in
Exothermic
Exothermic reactions transfer energy to the surroundings and the temperature of the surroundings increases.
Bond making = energy out
Burning hydrogen in oxygen will give water calculate the energy change for this reaction
What is going to happen in this explain
You need a periodic table
Zinc gives up 2 electrons copper is going to accept 2 electrons
