27
Q

how would now test for hydrogen?

A

hold a burning match at the mouth of the test-tube, if hydrogen is present, a pop sound will be heard.

28
Q

How would one test for carbon dioxide?

A

if a gas is bubbled through clear lime water [Ca(OH)2] and the lime water turns milky then CO2 is present.

29
Q

what are the 4 general reactions when working with acids and bases.

A
  1. Acid + metal hydroxide -> salt + water (neutralisation)
  2. Acid + metal oxide -> salt + water (neutralisation)
  3. Acid + Carbonate -> salt + water + carbon dioxide (neutralisation)
  4. Acid + Metal -> Salt + Hydrogen
30

what is the scientific name for fizzes

A

effervesce

36
Q

The gas for making leavened bread is made in two ways:

  1. what is this gas?
  2. give the two ways and their formulas.
A
  1. carbon dioxide
  2. a) reacting sodium bicarbonate with an acid
    carbonate+acid-> salt+water+CO2
    b) Heating the sodium
37
Q

what is the difference between a carbonate and a bicarbonate?

A

There is hydrogen in bicarbonate but there isn’t hydrogen in in carbonate.

38
Q

What is the difference between baking soda and baking powder.

A

baking powder already has an acid in the mixture but baking soda needs an acidic ingredient to react with it.

39
Q

What kind of reaction takes place between the stomach acid and the antacid.

A

neutralisation

40
Q

why did you burp shortly after taking an antacid?

A

Because carbon dioxide is released.
