Further Metals And Acids Flashcards
What happens to metal atoms in chemical reactions
The form positive ions
What makes a metal very reactive
Ease in which it looses electrons
What type of reaction is displacement
Redox reaction
What is a redox reaction
Transfer of electrons
Oxidation in terms of electrons
Reduction too
Loss of electrons
Gain of electrons
Spectator ion
Ion not involved in a reaction
What’s an acid
Substance that dissolves in water to produce Hplus ions
What does oh scale measure
Hplus ion concentration
What does a low ph value tell you
Solution has a high conc of h plus ions
Difference between a strong and a weak acid
Weak acids partly ionize strong fully ionizes.
Why does copper not react with acid
Holds onto its electrons too strongly
Ionic equation for neutralization
Hplus + ohminus goes to h2o
