Q

Why does H+ ions join with H30+ ions so quickly in reactions

A

A H+ ion is a bare proton with the charge of +1 making it extremely concentrated so in water it would combine with a water molecule to form a more stable molecule - H3O+

Q

When an acid reacts with ammonia what does it not produce that other reactions produce

A

Water

41
Q

Why does ammonia not produce water in reactions

42
Q

What is enthalpy of neutralisation

Exothermic

Q

Weak acids and bases are what type of reactions

A

Less exothermic potentially even endothermic

45
Q

Why are weak acid and base less exothermic than strong acid and bases

A

Because it is not completely dissociated in water the weak acid have to dissociate to release H+ ions to react with the OH- ions
- dissociation is slightly endothermic

46
Q

Q

What is Liebig idea of acid and base

A

Proposed acids contained hydrogen which could be replaced by a reactive metal [expanded definition

50
Q

What was Arrhenius idea of acids and bases

A

Acids and bases in aqueous solutions are electrolytes (conduct electricity)
- acids ionise to produce H+ ions
- bases ionise to produce OH- ions

51
Q

Name a limitation of Arrhenius definition

A

It does not explain the basic behaviour of ammonia which doesn’t produce OH- ions in a reaction

52
Q

What is Brønsted-Lowry idea of acids and base

A

A base is a proton acceptor

53
Q

What does Brønsted-Lowry definition do that Arrenhius can’t

Q

Name 5 amphiprotic substances

56
Q

In labs what is commonly used for acids spills

A

Sodium hydrogen carbonate

57
Q

Why is sodium hydrogen carbonate used for acids spills

A

It is weak, amphiprotic and produce carbon dioxide during neutralisation
- safe to handle
- does not increase the volume of liquid [its a solid]

58
Q

Amphiprotic substances are a subset of what

A

Amphoteric substance

59
Q

What are amphoteric substances

A

They can react with both acids and bases

60
Q

Name a limitation of Brønsted-Lowry definition

A

IT cannot explain the acidic behaviours of some things that do not contain hydrogen [mainly non-metal oxides - CO2, So2, So3]

61
Q

Two species in conjugate pairs differ by what

A

Differ by a proton (H+)

62
Q

A strong acid will have

A

An extremely weak conjugate base

63
Q

A weak acids will have a

A

Relatively strong conjugate base

64
Q

Strong bases are what groups hydroxides

A

Group 1 and 2

66
Q

What are 2 disadvantages of pH meter over an indicator

A

It requires calibration
It’s cost is very high

Q

Foods are generally _____
Cleaning products are generally ____

70
Q

Two strong acid solution or
Two strong base solution = [related to moles]
