acid definition
a substance that releases H+ ions in water (pH<7)
base definition
a substance that reacts with an acid to form a salt
bases examples
cc
alkali definition
a soluble base (pH>7)
indicator definition
a chemical that changes colour depending on whether its an acid or alkali
general equation for metal oxide + acid
metal oxide + acid -> salt + water
when reacting a metal oxide with an acid why will it not produce an alkali solution
when reacting a metal oxide with an acid it will not produce an alkali solution due to the excess metal oxide not reacting
general equation : metal + acid -> salt + hydrogen (MASH)
test for hydrogen
lit splint burns with a squeaky pop
general equation: metal carbonate + acid ->
general equation: metal carbonate + acid -> salt + water + carbon dioxide
test for carbon dioxide
limewater turns cloudy
general equation: metal hydroxide + acid ->
general equation: metal hydroxide + acid -> salt + water
colour and strength, pH1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7, 8-10, 11-14
1-2 strong ,red, 3-4 weak, orange, 5-6 acid, yellow, 7 neutral ,green, 8-10 weak alkali, blue,11-14 strong alkali, purple
what is the pH scale a measure of
the pH scale is a measure of how acidic a substance is. Strong acids react more vigorously than weak acids
what is universal indicator
universal indicator is a mixture of many different indicators, the mixture gives universal indicator a wide range of colours most indicators have 2 or 3 diff colours but do not all change at exactly pH7. this means they will have 1 colour below a specific pH and a diff colour above that pH
solid to gas =
sublimation
solid to liquid = melting
liquid to solid =
freezing
liquid to gas
evaporating
gas to liquid =
condensation
gas to solid =
deposition
melting and boiling both require energy how much depends on…
the strength of the forces between the particles
