A

copper oxide and sulphuric acid

30
Q

What is an alkali ?

A

A soluble base

31
Q

A

Na+ and OH-

32
Q

Sodium hydroxide is an alkali – what does NaOH (aq) look like?

A

A colourless solution

33
Q

Give the formula and state symbol for the alkali sodium hydroxide

A

NaOH (aq)

34
Q

Alkalis are bases. Give the general reaction for how an acid reacts with an alkali

A

Acid + alkali –> salt + water

35
Q

What type of reaction occurs when an acid reacts with an alkali?

A

neutralisation

36
Q

What is the ionic equation for the reaction between an acid and an alkali?

A

H+ + OH- –> H2O

37
Q

What is the method called for adding an exact amount of acid to an alkali?

A

Titration

38
Q

List the main equipment used in a titration

A

Burette, pipette, conical flask, indicator

39
Q

In a titration what is the point at which the indicator changes colour?

A

End point

40
Q

What is the colour change of phenolphthalein in going from alkali to acid?

A

pink to colourless

41
Q

What is the colour change of methy orange in going from alkali to acid?

A

yellow to red

42
Q

List the main steps for making a soluble salt from an acid and an alkali using titration.

A

Pipette 25cm3 of alkali into a flask. Add a drop of indicator. Add acid from burette until it changes colour. Record the volume of alkali. Repeat again without indicator. Evaporate the solution to get the salt.

43
Q

Give the general equation for the reaction between an acid and a metal

A

acid + metal –> salt + hydrogen

44
Q

What is the name of the type of reaction when an acid reacts with a metal?

A

neutralisation

45
Q

State two things you would see when a metal such as magnesium reacts with an acid

A

fizzing and the metal would disappear

46
Q

What is the test for hydrogen gas?

A

Add a lit splint and get a squeaky pop

47
Q

Why do different metals react differently with acids?

A

Metals have different reactivity (reactivity series)

48
Q

Why would you not prepare a salt from reaction of a group 1 metal with acid?

A

It would be too reactive / dangerous

49
Q

Why would you not make copper sulphate from the reaction of copper and sulphuric acid?

A

Copper is low in the reactivity series and would react very slowly

What is the name of the type of reaction when an acid reacts with a metal carbonate?

A

neutralisation

55
Q

State two thing you would see when a metal carbonate such as calcium carbonate reacts with an acid

A

the reaction would fizz and the carbonate would disappear

56
Q

What is the test for carbon dioxide gas?

A

Bubble through lime water and the lime water goes cloudy

Q

What is the rule for writing an equation for a precipitation reaction?

A

The ions from the two solutions reacting swap places

63
Q

What is the state symbol for a precipitate?

A

(s) solid

64
Q

In a solution precipitation reaction which state symbols would you expect to see in reactants and products?

A

reactants both would be (aq). Products one would be (aq) and one (s)

65
Q

List the steps to make an insoluble salt from a precipitation reaction

A

Add the two solutions together in the right quantities, filter off the precipitate, wash with some water, dry in an oven
