Redox And Acids Flashcards
What is an acid
Acids release H+ ions
Base?
A base readily accepts H+ions from acids
Standard solution
Is a solution of known concentration
Alkali
Release oh- ions in aqueous solution
Why are they examples of salt
As the H+ ion has been replaced by the (metal eg calcium) ion
How do you ensure all water has been driven off
Heat crucible until it’s mass remains constant
Calcium hydroxide is used as what
Used to neutralize acidic soil and excess can make soil too alkaline
Reaction of chlorine and sodium hydroxide
Cl2+2NaOH=NaClO+Nacl+H2O
How do Caco3 tablets work for indigestion
It neutralizes HCl
CaCO3+2HCl—>CaCl2+H2O+CO2
(NH4)2SO4 uses
Acts as a fertilizer and manufactures of explosives
NaClO use?
Used as bleach
What is chlorine plus water
Cl2+H2O—->HCl+HClO
HCl is acidic so H+ions are released
Percentage uncertainty
reading*uncertainty/value measured
What is disproportionation
It’s when the same species is oxidized and reduced
What is titration
Where a standard solution of know concentration is reacted with a solution of unknown concentration to find its concentration
