Chemistry Year 10 Flashcards
Physical change
No new substance made Reversible Change in state No fizzing or bubbling No colour change
Chemical change
Energy change Non reversible New substance made Precipitate formed Fizzing or bubbling Colour change
Universal indicator
ACID = red or orange BASE = blue or purple NEUTRAL = green
pH scale
1-6 = ACID 1= strong acid, 6= weak
7= NEUTRAL
8-14 = BASE 8 = weak 14 = strong base
Discuss OH-
Hydroxide ions, a BASE.
OH- ions released when put in water
Remove the H+ ions from a substance
Discuss H+ ions
Hydrogen ions
Are an ACID
H+ ions released when put in water
Properties of acids
Turn blue litmus paper red
Have a sour taste
Produce hydrogen when mixed with a metal
Produce CO2 when mixed with carbonate (marble chips)
Organic acid
Usually weak
Are found in nature
Contain carbon
Mineral acid
Usually strong (eg hydrochloride acid HCl)
Acid + base =
Water + salt
Acid + metal =
Hydrogen + salt
Acid + carbonate =
Water + salt + carbon dioxide (CO2)
Metal + oxygen =
Metal oxide
Metal + water =
Metal hydroxide + hydrogen
HCl + KOH/
Hydrochloric acid + potassium hydroxide =
H2O + KCl/
Water + potassium chloride
