Chemistry 6-Chemical change Flashcards
What can irritants do?
Give an example
cause reddening / blistering of the skin
Bleach
What do Alkali’s form when placed in water?
OH- ions
What do Acids form when placed in water?
H+ ions
Acid + Base=
Salt+water
H+ + OH- =
H20
What do acids do to produce hydrogen ions in water?
Ionise
Give an example of a monoprotic acid
It gives off 1H+
HCl
Give an example of a diprotic acid
It gives off 2H+
H2SO4
Give an example of a triprotic acid
Phosphoric acid (H3PO4)
It gives off 3H+
What do strong acids do that weak acids dont do?
Strong acids fully ionise
weak acids dont fully ionise
Define ionising
Releasing of all H+
Name 3 weak acids that dont fully ionise when placed in water
ethanoic
citric
carbonic
Ionisation of weak acids are what type of reaction?
Reversible
Which side of the equilibrium do weak acids lie
left hand side
Acid strength shows what
What proportion of the acid molecules ionise in water
Concentration of an acid measures what
how many moles of acid molecules are in 1 litre of water
The more moles of acid molecules per dm3, the …
more concentrated the acid is
You can have a dilute but. …
or a concentrated but ….
strong acid
weak acid
Why does ethanoic acid have a much lower electrical conductivity than HCl?
HCl is a stronger acid with more H+ that are ionised
Ions carry charge
Acid + Metal =
Salt + Hydrogen
