Types Of Chemical Reactions Flashcards
What is a neutralisation reaction
Tje reaction between an acid and alkali that produces a neutral solution
What is an acid
A substance, that when dissolved in water, releases H+ ions
What is a base
A substance that neutralises an acid
What is an alkali
A substance, that when dissolved in water realises OH- ions
What is produced when an acid reacts with a base
Produced a SALT + WATER
What happens when an acid reacts with a metal
Produces SALT + hydrogen
What happens when an acid reacts with a metal carbonate
produces SALT + WATER + CO2
How to find what salt is created?
First element of alkali plus last element of hydroCHLORIC acid + SODIUM hydroxide —> SODIUM CHLORIDE
Why is universal indicator not used as indicator
Universal indicator doesn’t not office a proper end point, hence why it is also not used in titration
What is the shape of a pH graph curve
An S shape
What is the definition of a concentrated acid
It is a substance which has a high ratio of acid to volume of solution
What is the definition of a dilute acid
An substance which has a low ratio of acid to volume of solute
How do you change how can concentrated an acid is
By changing the volume of water it is dissolved in. More water means that it is less concentrated and vies versa
What is the definition of a strong acid
A strong acid is an acid which fully dissociates in water
— (all of the molecules get split up into their ions)
What is the definition of a weak acid
An acid which only partially dissociates in water
—(only some particles split into ions)
