Q

Why do all metal oxides and acids react in this way?

A

Because they are all reactions of O2- ions from the oxide with 2H+ ions from the acid forming H20

Q

What is another, more common name for metal hydroxides?

A

Alkalis-so, acid + alkali –> salt + water

17
Q

Explain why all metal hydroxides (alkalis) and acids react in this way.

A

Because they are all reactions of OH- ions from the hydroxide (alkali) with H+ ions from the acid-forming water and carbon dioxide.

18
Q

Complete the word equation:
Metal carbonate + acid–>

A

Metal carbonate + acid–> metal salt + water + carbon dioxide

19
Q

What type of compound is always made in each of the reactions of acids above.

A

Metal salts (or just salts)

20
Q

Write a definition for neutralisation.

A

The reaction of an acid with a base producing water.

21
Q

What types of compounds are bases?

A

Metal oxides, metal carbonates and metal hydroxide (alkalis) NOT METALS

22
Q

What is the common feature of all reactions when an acid is neutralised by a base?

A

The H+ ions of the acid reacts with the base forming water.

23
Q

What are the bases that dissolve in water called?

A

alkalis

24
Q

What happens to the pH of an acid during neutralisation?

A

Increases towards 7

25
Q

What happens to the pH of an alkali during neutralisation?

A

Decreases towards 7

26
Q

Explain why using an insoluble metal carbonate is the easiest way to exactly neutralise an acid.

A

No heating is needed and when fizzing stops and an excess of the insoluble metal carbonate can be seen sitting at the bottom of the beaker then that means the acid has run out meaning that it all has been neutralised. The excess carbonate can then be easily filtered off and the solution evaporated to get the solid salt.

27
Q

Explain why using a soluble metal carbonate would not work.

A

There would be no excess visible to be sure that all the acid had been neutralised. Any excess would just dissolve in the water of the solution.

28
Q

Name 4 different everyday examples of neutralisation.

A
  1. Stomach acid is neutralised by alkaline indigestion remedies.
  2. Acid soil is neutralised by lime (calcium oxide) a base.
  3. Acid rain in lochs is treated with limestone (calcium carbonate) a base
  4. Toothpaste is alkaline to neutralise acids in the mouth
29
Q

Decide which chemicals would be best to prepare the following salts.
i) copper (II) nitrate
ii) magnesium sulfate
iii)nickel chloride
iv) sodium chloride

A

i) nitric acid + copper (II) carbonate
ii) sulfuric acid + magnesium carbonate
iii) hydrochloric acid + nickel carbonate
iv) sodium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid - with indicator to determine exact neutralisation

30
Q

A

Use LIs 1,2,3,4
