QUESTIONS!! Flashcards
Name three metal ions that can not displace hydrogen:
Copper, gold and silver
What is water crystallization
Water included in the structure of a salt as crystals.
Mineral acids:
Sulphuric acids, hydrochloric acids and nitric acid
Why is hydrogen a proton
A hydrogen atom contains 1 proton, 1 electron, and no neutrons to format an ion. Hydrogen loses the electron (H±); a proton is left.
Test for water
Use Copper (II) sulfate or chloride cobalt.
Color of calcium carbonate
White
pH of calcium sulphage
7,bc its neutral (bc it’s a salt)
Ammonium hydroxide color
Colorless
Tests for carbonates
Add any acid, carbonate dioxide gas will be produced.
Acid + metal carbonate → carbon dioxide + water + salt
Explain what is meant by the terms strong acid and weak acid
A strong acid fully dissocates in water to have a high concentration of hydrogen ions whole a weak acid partially dissocates to form a low concentration of hydrogen ions
What is the color of universal indicator in a solution of table salt (sodium chloride)?
Green
What is the color of dry red litmus paper in calcium hydroxide powder
Litmus paper needs to be wet to react so the color will stay the same. Red
