Chemistry Topic 4- need to finish Flashcards
What is PH scale
Measure of how acidic or alkali a solution is
What is the PH of a neutral substance
7
What is a indicator
Dye that changes colour depending on whether it’s above or below a certain temperature
What do acids form in water
H+ ions
What is a base
Substance with a PH greater than 7.
What’s an example of a base
Alkali, it dissolves in aree to form a solution with a PH greater than 7
What do alkali form in water
OH- ions
Acid + base —>
Salt + water
Acid + base symbolic equation
H+ + OH- —> H2O
What is titration a method of
Analysing the concentration of solutions
Tirations allow you to find out
How much acid you need to neutralise a quantity of alkali
I hat do acids produce in water
Protons
What is the difference between weak and strong acids
Strong acids ionise completely in water. Weak acids do not fully ionise in solutions.
