Chemistry Flashcards
Name, a group of metals
Alkali metals
How does carbon dioxide get in the air?
Burning fossil fuels
Where does sulphur dioxide get in the air from?
From power stations
How do nitrogen oxides get in the air?
From sparkling air in engines
What are the three things that are highly damaged by acid rain
Buildings
Steel Structures
Plants & Fish
A substance that neutralises acid is a
Base
A base is a
Substance that neutralises acid
A soluable base is an
Alkali
All bases are metal compounds except
Ammonia
Are all bases except one:
Metals
Or
Non-Metals
Metals
Acid + Metal Oxide=
Salt Water
Acid + Metal Carbonate=
Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
Acid + Reactive Metal=
Salt + Hydrogen
What are Titrations
A titration is an experiment carried out using a pipette or burette to find out what volume acid will neutralise a certain amount of alkali
What’s used to detect the end point of the reaction?
An indicator
What does the pH scale measure?
It measures how acidic or alkaline something is
P acid V acid C acid =
P alkali V alkali C alkali
pH < 7=
Acidic ( more H+ ions)
pH 7=
Neutral (equal amounts of H+ & OH-)
pH > 7=
Alkaline (more OH- ions)
Does diluting an acid or an alkaline move it:
A. Closer to pH 7
B. Away from pH 7
A. Closer to pH 7
What can you do to make an acid/ alkaline move closer to pH 7?
Dilute it
What ions do Acids contain?
Hydrogen (H+) ions
Do Acids contain Metals or Non-Metals?
Non-Metals
