Q

What is an alkali?
What ions does an alkali form in water?

A

-An alkali is a base that is soluble in water. Ph of more than 7

Q

Definition of a strong acid …
Example….

A
  • a strong acid ionises almost completely in water. Acid molecules dissociate to release H+ ions

-hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid

Q

Definition of a weak acid.
Example…

A

-weak acids do not fully ionise in solutions. Only a small portion of acid molecules dissociate to release H+ ions.

-ethanoic, citric, carbonic acids

Q

How to test for hydrogen?

A

1) you can test for hydrogen by using a lit splint

2)hydrogen makes a ‘squeaky pop’ with a lit splint

3)the noises comes from hydrogen reacting with oxygen in the air to form water.

17
Q

Acid + metal carbonate —->……

A

Acid + metal carbonate—-> salt + water + carbon dioxide

18
Q

How to test if a gas is carbon dioxide ?

A

You can test if a gas is carbon dioxide by bubbling it through limewater. If the gas is carbon dioxide the limewater will turn cloudy

19
Q

How to test if a gas is carbon dioxide ?

A

You can test if a gas is carbon dioxide by bubbling it through limewater. If the gas is carbon dioxide the limewater will turn cloudy

20
Q

When do salts form?

A

Acid + metal hydroxide/oxide ——> salt + water

Acid +metal —> salt + hydrogen

21
Q

When do salts form?

A

Acid + metal hydroxide/oxide ——> salt + water

Acid +metal —> salt + hydrogen

22
Q

How to carry out the practical to investigate the neutralisation reaction between calcium oxide (base) and dilute hydrochloric acid.

A

1) measure out dilute hydrochloric acid into a conical flask. Then measure out calcium oxide. Add it to the hydrochloric acid.

2)wait for the base to react then measure the ph with universal indicator or a ph probe.

3)repeat this until all the acid has reacted, you’ll know this when you have unreacted base sitting at the bottom of the flask.

23
Q

What are the insoluble salts?

A

Carbonates and hydroxides ,except sodium, potassium and ammonium ones

24
Q

Method of making a soluble salt

A

1)Heat the acid in a water bath to speed up the reaction.

2)then add the base to the acid , they will react to produce a soluble salt . You will know when the base is in excess because all the excess solid will sink to the bottom.

3)filter of the excess solid

4)heat the solution slowly to evaporate some of the water

5)leave the solution to dry and crystals to form

25
Q

What does the acronym OILRIG stand for

A

Oxidation is loss reduction is gain

26
Q

What is oxidation in electrolysis
What’s reduction

A

Oxidation is the loss of electrons
Reduction is the gain of electrons

27
Q

Is the anode positive or negative

A

The anode is the positive electrode.
The cathode is the negative electrode

28
Q

Where do the negative ions (aniodes) go?
Where do the positive ions (cations) go?

A

The negative ions (anions) go to the anode.
The positive ions (cations) go to the cathode

29
Q

Why are the negative ions (anions) oxidised at the anode?

A

Because they are negative ions this means they have more electrons than protons. At the anode they loose electons to become atoms or molecules.

It’s the opposite for cations, they gain electrons at the cathode

30
Q

How to set up a half equation to show electrons being transfered in electrolysis ?

A

1)Put one of the things being oxidised or reduced on one side of the arrow. And the thing it gets oxidised or reduced to on the other side.

2)add electrons (e-) to balance the charges

31
Q

What’s the half equation for sodium losing an electron to become a sodium ion?

A

Na —> Na+ + e-

32
Q

Why can a molten ionic compound be electrolysed but an ionic solid can’t be?

A

Because the ions can move freely and conduct electricity

33
Q

Why is electrolysis of an aqueous solution differnt to a molten ionic compound?

A

Because in an aqueous solution there are hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-)

34
Q

What will happen at the cathode if the metal is more reaction than hydrogen ? In an aqueous solution…

A

At the cathode of an aqueous solution, if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen, than hydrogen gas will be produced

35
Q

What will happen at the cathode of an aqueous solution if the metal is less reactive than hydrogen?

A

If the metal is less reactive than hydrogen a solid layer of the metal will be produced

36
Q

What will be formed at the anode of an aqueous solution?

A

Either oxygen, or if a halogen is present that will be formed. Eg: chloride - chlorine.

37
Q

What group of the periodic table do halogens occupy?
Example of one…

A

Group 7
Chlorine
