Equations Flashcards
What is a hydrocarbon?
A hydrocarbon is made up of ONLY hydrogen and carbon.
what are the hydrocarbons? That you have learnt.
Methane Ethane Propane Butane pentane
What are dilute acids?
Acids that contain more water
What are concentrated acids?
They are acids that have less water and more acids, They are very corrosive and can destroy your skin.
weak acids release…
less hydrogen ions.
strong acids release…
all hydrogen ions.
bases are… feel… react with… and … them what are some examples of them?
are bitter, feel soft and soapy, react with acids and neutralise them.
Copper oxide and calcium carbonate are examples.
Alkalis..
are a base that dissolve in water
examples are..
Sodium hydroxide
Potassium hydroxide
bases
can react with alkalis and acids
Theyre usually metal oxides metal hydroxides metal carbonates or metal hydrogen carbonates. Many bases are insoluble, if a base does dissolve in water we call it an alkali
pH 1-6 is..
an acid
pH7 is..
neautral
pH 8-14 is..
alkali
the closer you are to pH7 the… the…
weaker… acid or alkali is
ret litmus turns..
stays red when its an acid or neutral and turns blue in alkalis
blue litmus turns..
red in acids and stays blue in alkalis and acids.
