Physical Chemistry Flashcards
Arrhenius alkali
OH– ions in water
Arrhenius acid
H* ions in water
Problem with Arrhenius definition
HCl + NH3 –> NH4Cl
Neutralisation reaction
But neither HCl is an acid by this definition or NH3 a base
Brønstead-Lowry theory
Acid= H* donor Alkali= H* acceptor
Metal + acid
Salt + hydrogen
Metal oxide
Base
Metal oxide + acid
Salt + water
Metal hydroxide
Alkali
Metal hydroxide + acid
Salt + water
Metal carbonate + acid
Salt + water + carbon dioxide
Ammonia + acid
Salt
Nitric acid
HNO3
Nitrate
Hydrochloride acid
HCl
Chloride
Sulphuric acid
H2SO4
Sulphate
Carbonic acid
H2CO3
Making salts
NEUTRALISATION REACTION
1. Carbonate = bubbling (heat to get rid of all acid) then excess carbonate filtered off.
2. Base = insoluble but no bubbles so add an excess of base.
3. Alkali = ?
Indicator then remove with decolourising charcoal
Titration
Calorimity
Uses changes in water temp to calculate the energy change
Delta H=
m x 4.2 x change in temp (delta t)
To compare delta H
Delta H divided by moles
Delta H converted to joules per gram
Delta H divided by mass of solid dissolved
Delta H converted to joules per mole
Delta H divided by moles of solid dissolved
Salts of sodium
