GCSE Chemistry C2 - Section 5 Acids, Bases and Salts Flashcards
3 things that sodium hydroxide from the electrolysis of brine is used to make are . .
bleach, paper and soap
Acid + base =
a salt + water
Negative ions are . . . . . At the electrodes
oxidised
This method breaks down a substance using electricity
electrolysis
An alkali is a . . .
soluble base
The metal to be used to electroplate an object is made into the . . . . electrode
positive
We measure how acidic or alkaline a substance is by measuring its . .
pH
An insoluble precipitate can be collected by . . .
filtration
This method can be used to remove some metal compounds from waste water
precipitation
Reduction is . . .
gaining electrons
Chlorine from the electrolysis of brine can be used to make . .
bleach and new plastics
soluble salts can be crystallised out of solution by . . .
evaporating the solvent
The negative electrode is called the . . .
cathode
An insoluble precipitate can be collected by . . .
filtration
Insoluble salts can be made by reacting 2 solutions to produce a . . .
precipitate
acid + metal =
a salt + hydrogen
All acids produce this ion in water
H+
Oxidation is . . .
loss of electrons
An indicator is a substance that . . .
changes colour at different pH values
Negative ions are called
anions
Positive ions in electrolysis move towards the . . .
cathode (negative electrode)
Positive ions are called
cations
The metal to be used to electroplate an object is made into the . . . . electrode
positive
Chlorine from the electrolysis of brine can be used to make . .
bleach and new plastics
