What colour does acid change litmus paper to
It’s turns blue litmus red
Why does H+ ions join with H30+ ions so quickly in reactions
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+
A base that dissolves in water is also known as
Alkalis
Which group base is all soluble
Group 1
Acid strength
The extent of ionisation or dissociation in water
Name 5 common strong acids
HCl, HBr, HI, H2SO4, HNO3
Name 4 strong bases
NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2, Ba(OH)2
Which group bases are strong but poorly soluble
Group 2
Many bases are _____ in ionic compounds
Anions
Because weak bases are anions in ionic compounds what must you do before showing it reacting with water
Dissociate the weak base
How is acid strength and concentration different
Acid strength refers to the extent of ionisation while acid concentration is the amount of acid in a given volume
What is generally the number which we consider as a concentrated acid
10M
What does Ka represent
Ka represent the position of the equilibrium for the dissociation of an acid in water
When talking about Ka reactions, is it dynamic or static reactions
Dynamic - never goes to completion
The stronger the acid = [Ka question]
The stronger the acid the more the equilibrium will lie on the right (product side) and the Ka will increase
Ka is only dependent on what factor
Temperature
Which Ka is higher 4.6x10^-5 or 4.6^-8
4.6^10-5
As the base strength increases= [Kb question]
Equilibrium will lie on the right due to the increase in concentration of products and Kb value will increase
Name a natural and synthetic indicators
Litmus paper comes from lichens and phenolphthalein from synthetic chemicals
Most indicators are made from what
Weak acids or base
In what state do indicators exist in
Dynamic equilibrium - incomplete reaction

4.5-8.3
What colour is bromothymol blue at low pH
Yellow
What colour is bromothymol blue at high pH
Blue
What is the pH of colour change range of bromothymol blue
6.0-7.6
What colour is phenol red at low pH
Yellow
What colour is phenol red at high pH
