Unit 4- Chemical Changes Flashcards
What does OILRIG stand for
oxidation is loss, reduction is gain
Oxidation and reduction always occur ?
Together👫👫👫💏
When metals react with oxygen, what do they form?
Metal oxides
When metals react, their atoms lose electrons to form ?
To form positive metal ions
Some metals lose electrons more easily thsn others.
The more easily a metal loses electrons, ?
The more reactive the metal is
The reaction of metals with acid and water can be used to show the reactivity series.
What is the anomaly for it?
Please- potassium Send- sodium Charlies- calcium Monkeys- magnesium And- aluminium Crazy- carbon Zebras- zinc In-iron Cages-copper Securely -silver
Metals react with acids to produce ?
Salts and hydrogen
What are 3 very reactive metals
Lithium
Sodium
Potassium
Where do unreactive metals such as gold are found where?
On the earth surface
What does PANIC stand for?
Positive Anode Negative Is Cathode
Metals that are more reactive than carbon are extracted from molten compounds by what?
Electrolysis
Metals that are les reactive than carbon can be extracted from their oxides by?
Heating with carbon
In a displacement reaction a more reactive metal will ?
Displace a less reactive metal from a solution of its salt
When substances dissolve in water, they ?
Dissociate into their individual ions:
- Hydroxide ions OH-(aq), make solutions alkaline
- Hydrogen ions H+(aq), make solutions acidic
1-6 on the pH scale are?
Acidic
8-14 ?
Alkaline
7?
Neutral
How can the pH of a solution be measured?
pH probe or universal indicator
What are indicators
Dyes that change colour depending on whether the are alkaline or acidic solutions
Red=?
Acidic
Green=?
Neutral
Purple?
Alkaline
Soluble bases are called ?
Alkalines
How are acids neutralised?
Bases
Acid + hydroxide —>? + ?
Acid + hydroxide–> salt + water
Is this neutralisation?why
H+(aq) + OH-(aq)—>H2O(I)
Yes because an acid has reacted with a alkaline and has produced water which is neutral
