Q

What do acids do when in water? How does this cause their Ph?

A

They dissociate/ ionise - they form H+ ions in water. As the concentration of H+ ions increases, the Ph decreases

Q

How does an acid become neutal in neutralisation?

A

During neutalisation, hydrogen ions in the acid combine with oxide ions to form water. this removes the hydrogen and so the ph increases

Q

How is a solution more acidic?

A

That solution will have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions
( as the concentration of H+ increases, the PH decreases)

Q

What are some weak acids?

A

Carbonic, ethonic, boric

36
Q

What do strong acids do in water?

A

They almost completeky ionise, a large proportion of the acid molecules dissociate to release h + ions
this cannot be reversed

37
Q

What do weak acids do in water?

A

they do not fully ionise in solution, only a small proportion of the acid molecules dissociate to release H + ions
These dissociations can be reversed

38
Q

What does concentration mesure?

A

How much acid there is in a litre of water ( how watered down your acid is)

39
Q

What is an acid with a larger number of acid molecules compared to the volume of water called?

A

concentrated acid

40
Q

what is the opposite of concentrate?

A

dilute

41
Q

Why is extra base always added when prepping soluble salts?

A

to make sure all the acid is used up

42
Q

Why is the extra reactant/ base always filtered out?

A

so you are left with just salt and water so you can have pure crystals

43
Q

Why is the filtered solution in a soluble salts experiment alwats just salt and water?

A

through the base added to the acid in exess, then filtered out, we can make the solution fully neutalised, leaving only salt and water

44
Q

what is effervesence?

A

Bubbles

45
Q

metal + acid =

A

salt + hydrogen

46
Q

metal oxide/ hydroxide + acid =

A

salt + water

47
Q

how are soluble salts produced?

48
Q

how are insoluble salts produced

A

the reaction between an acid and a metal HYDROXIDE

49
Q

what is the ionic equation for neutralisation?

A

H+ + OH- = H20

50
Q

How do you test for hydrogen

A

The squeaky pop text
take a lit splint and hold it over the test tube, if it pops, there is hydrogen

51
Q

How to test dor carbon dioxide

A

Bubble it through limewater, it will turn the water cloudy

52
Q

how to test for oxygen?

A

Glowing splint test
but a just burnt out match into the test tube, it is re lit if there is oxygen

53
Q

How to test for chlorine

A

it turns litmus papar white

54
Q

What are spectator ions?

A

the ions that dont change in the reaction

55
Q

What are the spectator ions in
metal + acid -> salt + hydrogen?

A

the non H+ ions in the acid
e.g. Cl, N, S,O

56
Q

WHat do half equations show?

A

what happens to the electrons

57

What happens in an oxidiation reaction?

A

a loss of electrons

58
Q

What is reduction reaction?

A

a gain of electrons

59
Q

What happens in electrolysis

A

The breaking down of a substance using electricity. An electric current is passed through an electrolyte, causing it to decompose

Q

ELECTROLYSIS

which Stick do the anions (-) move to?

A

The anode

They loose electrons

OXIDISED

66
Q

Why cant an ionic solid be electrolysed?

A

The Ions are in fixed positions and cannot move, therefore cannot conduct electricity

67
Q

What are metal ions?

+ or -

A

+

68
Q

What do positive metal ions do in electrolysis?

A

They are reduced to metal atoms at the cathode

69
Q

What do negative ions do in electrolysis?

A

Oxidised to atom or molecules at the anode

70
Q

What forms at the cathode when the electolysis is in SALT WATER

or aqueous solution

A

If there is gold, silver or copper that will be produced. IF not hydrogen

71
Q

What forms at the anode when the electolysis is in SALT WATER

or aqueous solution

A

if a halide is present the halogen will be produced
If not then its oxygen

72
Q

What metals are less reactive than hydrogen?

A

gold, copper, platinum, silver

73
Q

in order, what metals are more reactive than carbon?

A

K
Na
Ca
Mg
Al
C

74
Q

What metals are more reacitve than H but less reactive than C? in order.

A

Zn
Fe
H

75
Q

Metal carbonate + Acid ->

A

→ Salt + carbon dioxide + water

76
Q

What is an alkalai?

A

A base that is soluble in water
Ph of more than 7 as they form OH- ions in water

77
Q

WHat is the reaction between an acid and a base called?

A

Neutralisation

78
Q

Acid + Base =

A

Salt + Water

79
Q

What does the ionic equation for Neutralisation in Aqueous solution?

A

H+ + OH- = H20

80
Q

What do strong acids do in water?

A

They Ionise completely in water- A large proportion of the acid molecules dissociate to release H+ ions.

e.g Sulfuric, Hydrochloric, nitric

Ph 0-2

81
Q

what do weak acids do in water?

A

They dont fully ionise in solution - A small proportion of the acid molecules dissociate to release H+ ions.

e.g Ethanoic, citric, carbonic

Ph 2-6

82
Q

How do the reactions of Strong and weak acids differ in reversibility?

A

Ionisation of weak acids is reversible -Sets up an equilibrium, lies well to the leftnsince only a few of the cid releases H+ ions

83
