Q

how do you know a solution is not acid, neutral but an alkali

49
Q

solubility rules: which substances are always or almost always soluble and what are the exceptions?

A

all potassium, sodium and ammonium salts are soluble, as well as all nitrates, and all halides - apart from lead and silver ones, and all sulphates apart from calcium, barium and lead

50
Q

Which substances are insoluble - solubility rules and what are the exceptions?

A

All carbonated and hydroxides aside from potassium, sodium and ammonium substances

51
Q

what is a precipitate reaction?

A

a reaction between two soluble solutions, which give a product of a soluble solution and an insoluble solution - the precipitate

52
Q

silver nitrate experiment - why does the colour change from white to silver when exposed to the light?

A

the UV light makes it change colour to silver

53
Q

what was silver nitrate originally used in?

A

old photographs - lying them in the light would allow them to develop

54
Q

precipitation method - how to make an insoluble ? -
choose ? suitable solutions. one ? must contain the positive ion - the ? . the other must contain the ? ion - the ? - both solutions must be ? and it is easiest to choose a ? nitrate (as all nitrates are ? ) and a sodium compound that contains the ? ion (as all ? compounds are soluble )

A

salt, two,solution, cation, negative, anion, soluble, metal, soluble, negative, sodium

55
Q

in titration experiment what do you measure the hydrochloric acid with?

A

the Burette - a sort of topless measuring cylinder with a tap

56
Q

in titration what measures the sodium hydroxide

A

the glass pipette

57
Q

why is titration needed - instead of the excess base method?

A

the excess base method relies on the salt and base being easily separated by filtration, but in reactions with soluble salts or compounds a different method needs to be used - in this case titration

58
Q

what do you need to do and what happens in the copper sulphate reaction?

A

mix excess copper oxide with sulphuric acid, then filter the excess copper oxide off - leaving the filtrate - copper sulphate. then gently heat the copper sulphate till saturated and then leave it to cool for a couple of days in a warm place so it can crystallize but not all the water evaporate

59
Q

what happens in the sodium chloride and silver nitrate reaction?

A

mix together silver nitrate and sodium chloride - should turn milky white bc of the precipitate forming. then filter it and add some water to wash off any extra sodium nitrate or unreacted reactants (also discard the filtrate). then once this is finished lay out the paper on a mat and place a smaller opaque tile across the filter paper so it covers half the solid. then wait and expose to light and half of it should go silver and half should stay white

60
Q

what does saturated solution actually mean?

A

it means it has the maximum capacity of dissolved solute in the solvent x

61
Q

what happens in the reaction between metal carbonates (or hydrogencarbonates) and acids?

A

fizzing, and the carbonate ‘dissolves’

62
Q

what happens in the reaction between metal oxides or hydroxides and acids

A
  • if a solid base is added it will dissolve
  • if an alkali is added, the reaction will be exothermic
63
Q

what happens in a reaction between a (reactive) metal and acid?

A

-fizzing
-the reactive metal dissolves
-exothermic reaction

64
Q

what does exothermic mean?

A

gives out energy, very hot

65
Q

what is the reaction to make an insoluble salt called

A

precipitate reaction

66
Q

what is the reaction to make a soluble salt that isn’t ammonium sodium or potassium

A

excess base method

67
Q

what is the reaction to make a soluble -ammonium, sodium and potassium salt called

A

titration!!

68
Q

excess ? method :
react the appropriate acid with an ? of solid and ? base ie oxide, hydroxide or ? , if in doubt use metal ? and acid

A

base, excess, insoluble, carbonate, oxide

69
Q

titration method -
react the ? acid with the appropriate ? (or carbonate) use NaOH/KOH or ?

A

appropriate, hydroxide, NH3

70
Q

if in doubt in a precipitation method what two substances would you use?

A

metal nitrate and sodium salt

71
Q

monitoring the pH of a reaction experiment - what are the reactants?

A

calcium hydroxide and Ethanoic acid (vinegar)

72
Q

what does calcium hydroxide and Ethanoic acid react with each other to make?

A

calcium ethanoate and water

73
Q

what happens in the neutralisation reaction between the calcium hydroxide and the Ethanoic acid?

A

as you add more and more CaOH the pH of the acid increases - slowly at first - 2,2.3,2.6 etc but then at 5 it has a massive jump to about 12 - going from a weak acid to an alkali

74
Q

in the neutralisation reaction between the calcium hydroxide and the Ethanoic acid does it smell of vinegar at the end?

A

no because it has been neutralized

75
Q

what are the two best apparatuses at measuring the volume of a liquid (apart from a measuring cylinder)

A

burette and a glass pipette

76
Q

what is the general word equation for an alkali metal reacting with water

A

metal + water -» metal hydroxide + hydrogen
