What is the PH scale, what is it’s scale?
.pH Scale Goes From 0 to 14: measure of how acidic or alkaline a solution is.
-lower= more H+ ions concentration
Lower and higher PH means and neutral?
1)The lower the pH of a solution= more acidic it is.
2)The higher the pH of a solution,=more alkaline it is.
3) A neutral substance (e.g. pure water) has pH 7.
What is an indicator?
.indicator is a dye that changes colour depending on whether it’s above or below a certain pH.
1)indicators contain a mixture of dyes that means they gradually change colour over a broad range of pH.
How Can Measure the pH of a Solution using universal indicators and a PH probe?
1) indicators and they’re useful for estimating the pH of a solution. E.g universal indicator
Green neutral
Red acid
Blue alkali
2) pH probe attached to a pH meter can also be used to measure pH electronically.=
.probe is placed in the solution you are measuring and the pH is given digital display numerical=more accurate.
What is an acid?
An acid is a substance that forms aqueous solutions with a pH of less than 7, form H* ions in water
What is a base?
1) base is a substance with a pH greater than 7- alkali
What is an alkali?
1)An alkali is a base that dissolves in water to form a solution pH greater than 7. form OH- ions in water.
What is the reaction between acids and bases? - titration.
1.Neutralisation between acids and alkalis can be seen in terms of H+ and OH- ions like this:
2. acid neutralises a base=products neutral (indicator= neutralisation over.)
3.Neutralisation reactions strong acids, alkalis used to calculate the concentration acid or alkali by titration
What do you use titrations for?
.find out exactly how much acid is needed to neutralise quantity of alkali - or vice versa.
.data to work out concentration of the acid or alkali
What is the method for titrations? 5
1.pipette and pipette filler add a measured volume sodium hydroxide solution conical flask.
2. drops of indicator, put conical flask white tile.
3.Fill the burette with hydrochloric acid, note starting volume.
4.Slowly add acid from the burette, alkali conical flask, swirling to mix.
5.Stop adding the acid=clear. Note the final volume reading.
What do the measurements need to be within? (2)
1)repeat the whole thing a few times, Results (within 0.10 cm°).
2)calculate a mean of your results, ignoring any anomalous results.
What Single Indicators for Titrations do you? 3 types
Alkali and an acid=sudden colour change,
single indicator
-litmus (blue in alkalis and red in acids)
-phenolphthalein (pink in alkalis and colourless in acids)
-methyl orange (yellow in alkalis and red in acids).
1)Why do Acids Produce positive ions in Water? (dissociation)
2)what are the conditions for this?
.1)acids dissociate in aqueous solution
2)produce hydrogen ions, H+= don’t produce until they meet water
Acids Can be Strong or Weak?
How does how much H+ ions affect rate reaction?
.Strong acids ionise completely in water.
.All acid particles dissociate to release H* ions.
.Weak acids not fully ionise in solution.
=ionisation of a weak acid is a reversible reaction, equilibrium Between undissociated and dissociated acid only a few of the acid particles release H ions, equilibrium lies well to the left
-Reactions of acids involve the H+ ions reacting with other substances.
=concentration of H* ions is higher, the rate of reaction will be faster,
strong acids=more reactive than weak acids of the same concentration
How does pH is a Measure of the Concentration of Hydrogen Ions?
=The pH of an acid or alkali is a measure of the concentration of H* ions in the solution.
-decrease of 1 on the pH scale, the concentration of H* ions increases by a factor of 10
-+= fewer H+
- -= more H+
The general rule for Concentration of hydrogen ions is?
The pH of a strong acid is always less than the pH a weaker acid if they have the same concentration,
What is acid strength?
Acid strength ( proportion of the acid molecules ionise in water).
What is acid concentration?
.measures how much acid there is in a certain volume of water.
.pH will decrease with increasing acid concentration regardless of whether it’s a strong or weak acid
What are Metal Oxides and Metal Hydroxides?
what are the two formal for creating salts?
what type of reactions is it?
1)Bases (Some metal oxides and metal hydroxides dissolve in water.)=soluble compounds are alkalis.
2) Even bases that won’t dissolve in water will still take part in neutralisation reactions with acids.
3)ALL metal oxides and metal hydroxides react with acids to form a salt and water.
1)What are metal carbonates?
2)Why do Acids and Metal Carbonates Produce Carbon Dioxide and what are they?
3)how do you name salts? 2
1)Metal carbonates are also bases.
2)react with acids=salt+water+carbon dioxide.- nuetrailation reaction
3)ide and ate (chloride and sulphate)
1)How can you Make Soluble Salts Using an Insoluble Base? (3)
2)What is the method for reacting sulfric acid and copper oxide (II) (INSOUBLE BASE) to make a soluble slat?
1)reacting acids with insoluble bases such metal oxides, metal carbonates
1) warm sulfric acid= speed up 20 ml Bunsen burner
3) Add copper oxide to acid a bit at a time until no more reacts.=acid neutralised
4)excess solid sink bottom of the flask= ensure all acid reacted
5)filter out the excess solid=copper sulfate solution.
6)pure crystals salt= evaporate water not all (concentrated) stop heating it=leave to cool.
7)Crystals salt form filtered out of the solution and then dried for a few days while water vapour evaporates=pure crystals
Crystallise
1)What does an acid and metal react to give off?
2)what is the speed of the reaction indicated with?
3)How Metals React With Acids Tells You About Their Reactivity what is the equation? 3
4)what metals are most reactive with acid or least or medium?
1)ACID+ METAL -> SALT (ionic compound)+ HYDROGEN
2) rate at which the bubbles of hydrogen given off.
-more reactive the metal, faster reaction
-temperature change
3)
1-measuring the temperature change of the reaction acid or water over a set time
2-use the same mass and surface area of metal each time,
3-more reactive the metal, greater temperature change.
4) potassium, sodium, lithium, magnesium, calcium- loads of bubbles
Iron and zinc and tin= very few bubbles
Gold and platinum = no reaction less reactive then hydrogen
1)What happens when metals react with water?
2)what are the metals which react with water? 4
3)what metals don’t react with metals? 3
4) what happens with medium metals?
1)METAL+ WATER -> METAL HYDROXIDE + HYDROGEN
2)potassium, sodium, lithium, calcium fizzing and bubbles
3)zinc, iron, copper no reaction
4) magnesium= universal indicator will slowly turn blue as metal hydroxide is produced
