chemical reactivity, metal extraction, acid base salt Flashcards
Metal + acid ->
Salt + hydrogen
Metal oxide + acid ->
Salt + water
Metal hydroxide + acid ->
salt + water
Metal carbonate + acid ->
salt + carbon dioxide + water
Define saturated solution
A solution that can hold no more solute / solid at the specified temperature
What is an acid?
A proton donor
What is difference between weak and strong acids?
1) Strong acids fully ionise
2) Weak acid partially ionise
The ionisation of a strong acid is shown by using a → in the equation, showing it is non-reversible
The ionisation of a weak acid is shown by using a rightwards harpoon over leftwards harpoonin the equation, showing it is reversible
H2SO3 (reversible arrow sign) HSO3– + H+
Hydorchloric acid
HCL
What is a base? in terms of particles
Protons acceptors
Define water of crystallisation
Water molecules present in hydrated crystals
What are amphoteric oxides?
Oxides that react with acids & bases the same.
Both reaction produce salt and water
Are metal oxides base or acidic?
Metal oxides are usually basic
Give examples of amphoteric oxides
Aluminum oxide Al2O3
Zinc oxide ZnO
When hydrochloric acid dissolves into water the acid compound ionises
give ionic equation
HCL(aq) —> H+ (aq) + CL- (aq)
Sulfuric acid formula
H2SO4
Ammonia formula
NH3
Aqueous solutions of acids contain
H+ ions
Aqueous solutiosn of base contain
OH- ions

Neutralisation reaction between acid and alkaline to produce water ionic equation
H+ (aq) + OH-(aq) -> H2O(L)
Base vs alkali
Base are oxides or hydroxides of metals
Alkali are soluble bases

Group 1 reactions with cold water
More fire and explosives as you go down the group
reaction of magnesium with steam
Magnesium burns in steam to produce white magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas
Neutralisation equation
acid + alkali = salt + water
define ionise
When ions in an ionic solid separate during dissolving
When an alkali like sodium hydroxide dissolves give ionic equation
NaOH -> Na+ + OH-
The strength of an acid is also a measure of…
How much the acid compound ionises
Strong acid will… [2]
Fully ionise
Completely disasscoiate in water
Weak acid will… [2]
Partially ionise
partially dissociate in water
Ethanoic acid (Vinegar) & Citric acid weak or strong
Weak acid
Good method writing [5]
1) Start each step with a command word (Measure, pour etc)
2) Include at least 2 control variables
3) Include measurements
4) Include scientific equippments
5) Include repeats for the same measurements to identify anomalies and calculate a mean
Calculate mass of water from using crystallisation
Mass of hydrated salt - mass of anhydrous salt
Define Precipitation
2 soluble ionic salts are combined, they can form an insoluble salt, a precipitate
How is Calcium oxide manufactured from limestone
By thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate
Slag
the substance that is formed when impurities in the ore react with calcium hydroxide (Limewater)
