Neutralisation Flashcards
What type of solutions are there?
Acids (+), Neutral, Alkaline (OH-)
What are acids?
They release hydrogen ions when released/dissolved in water.
What does it mean if more hydrogen ions are released from an acid?
The more hydrogen ions released, the stronger the acid.
What does the strongest acid do?
Release the most hydrogen ions.
What does the weakest acid do?
Release the least hydrogen ions.
What is the pH number of the strongest acid?
0
What is the pH number of the weakest acid?
6
What is the number for neutral?
7
What is a strong acid?
Completely ionised.
What is a weak acid?
Partially ionised.
Hydrochloric Acid
HCl, H+ Cl-
Nitric Acid
H⁺ NO³⁻, HNO³
Sulphuric Acid
H² SO⁴, H⁺ SO⁴⁻²
What does a metal and acid make?
metal + acid —> salt + hydrogen
Give an example of metal reacting with acid
2Na + 2HCl —-> 2NaCl + H²
