Reactions of acids and bases Flashcards
dissociation
ionic compound seperates into ions in solutions
ionisation
when a molecular compound seperates into ions in solutions, ions didn’t previously exist
what are the three reactions of acids
- acid + metal hydroxide 2. acid + metal carbonates/hydrogen carbonates 3. acid + reactive metals
acid + metal hydroxide results in
salt + water
acid + metal (hydrogen) carbonate results in
carbon dioxide + water + salt
what is used to test the presence of carbonate salts
the limewater test
limewater test
an acid is added to a solution and will produce CO2 is carbonate is preesent, limewater is added to a solution and if it turns milky white than carbon dioxide is present as the precipitate CaCO3 will form
limewater formula
Ca(OH)2
an acid and reactive metal results in
salt and hydrogen gas
a neutralisation reaction is aka
a meral hydroxide and acid reactionn
hydroscopic
can absorb water from the atmosphere
