1
Q
Neutralisation is…
A
the reaction between hydrogen ions in an acid and the hydroxide ions in an alkali to produce water.
H+(aq)+OH-(aq)=H2O(l)
2
Q
All acids and alkalis dissolve in water to produce…
A
acids-hydrogen(H+)
alkalis-hydroxide(OH-)
3
Q
Strong acids vs weak acids
A
Strong acids completely ionise in water, weak acids partially ionise in water.
4
Q
A salt is…
A
A compound formed when hydrogen ions in an acid are replaced by metal ions or ammonium ions
5
