Defenitions Flashcards
Salt
A compound in which the H plus ions from an acid are replaced by metal ions
Hydrated salt
It has water of crystallisation
Water trapped inside the crystals
Anhydrous salt
Has no water of crystallisation
Exothermic reaction
Releases heat energy to the surroundings
Endothermic reaction
Absorbs heat energy from the surroundings
Anhydrous copper sulphate colour change when water is added
White to blue
Anhydrous cobalt, chloride colour change when water is added
Blue to pink
These reactions cannot be used to test for the purity of water, because
The anhydrous salt change colour if water is present, but not of other things are also present
Which direction is endothermic? How can you tell?
Hydrated to anhydrous
Which direction was exothermic? How do you tell?
anhydrous to hydrated
Heat released
