Q

What are the 4 types of reactions of acids and bases?

A

Acid+metal ➡️ salt+hydrogen (electron transfer - redox rection)

Acid+metal hydroxide ➡️ salt+water (neutralisation)

Acid+metal oxide ➡️ salt+water

Acid+metal carbonate ➡️ salt+water+carbon dioxide

Q

What are the properties of acids and bases?

A

Acids:
Taste sour.
Their aqueous solutions conduct electricity (called electrolytes)
React with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas
CO2 produced when acids react with limestone

Bases:
Taste bitter
Solutions of alkalis, bases that are soluble in water, conduct electricity (called electrolytes)
Generally feel slippery/ soapy

Q

Oxidation

A

A loss in electrons

18
Q

Reduction

A

A gain in electrons

19
Q

Oxidation number/ oxidation state

A

A number assigned to each atom to keep track of electrons during a reaction

20
Q

Give one exception to oxygen having an oxidation state of -2 (the only one I need to know)

A

H O
2 2

Oxygen has an oxidation state of -1

21
Q

What is a reducing agent?

A

A substance that causes reduction but it itself is oxidised

22
Q

What is an oxidising agent?

A

A substance that causes oxidation but it itself is reduced

23
Q

What is a redox reaction?

A

The transfer of electrons

24
Q

When does a hydrogen ion have an oxidation state of +1 and when does it have an oxidation state of -1?

A

+1 when bonded to non-metals

-1 when bonded to metals

25
What are the 3 classifications of redox reactions?
1. Displacement reaction 2. Synthesis reaction (2+ reactants, 1 product) 3. Decomposition reaction (1 reactant, 2+ products)
26
What are the tests for oxygen gas and hydrogen gas?
Oxygen gas: glowing splint relights Hydrogen gas: burning split ignites gas with popping sound
27
Electrochemical reaction
Oxidation and reduction take place in separate compartments
28
What energy transformation happens in an electrochemical reaction?
Chemical energy becomes electrical energy
29
Electrochemical cell
Energy from the redox reaction is used as a source of electric current
30
What happens at the anode and the cathode (oxidation/ reduction)? Does this cause the electrode to increase or decrease in mass?
Anode: oxidation (electrode decreases in mass) Cathode: reduction (electrode increases in mass)
31
What are the two functions of the salt bridge in an electrochemical cell?
It completes the circuit and it ensures that the electrolytes remain neutral
32
Give the formula for the dichromate ion
-2 Cr O 2 7
33
In electrochemical cells, electrons flow through the wire and ions flow through the salt bridge and electrolytes
🌺
34
What is an electrochemical cell called if it has: 1) a spontaneous chemical reaction between chemicals 2) a non-spontaneous chemical reaction driven by chemical energy
1) galvanic cell (or voltaic cell) | 2) electrolytic cell
35
What is the name of the process that occurs in an electrolytic cell?
Electrolysis
36
Cell potential
The potential difference between the cathode and anode
37
What is a standard electrode potential?
The voltage measured under standard conditions when the half-cell is connected to a standard hydrogen electrode to form an electrochemical cell. (Measured in V)
38
What are standard conditions?
p = 1 atm -3 c = 1 mol.dm temp.= 25*C
39
Why is a platinum electrode used in a hydrogen half-cell?
It is chemically inert and a good electrical conductor.
