unit 6 - acids and bases Flashcards
(42 cards)
acids
Turns blue litmuss paper red
pH less than 7
Neutralises Bases
Form H+ ions in solutions
corrosive
Good conductor of electricity
Tastes sour
bases
pH greater than 7
Turns red litmus paper into blue
Feels slippery
Forms OH- ions
Neutralises acids
Tastes sour
Poor conductor
Arhenius theory
Acids produces Hydrogen ions (H+) in water
Bases produce hydroxide ions (OH-) in water
pneumoniec to remember arhenious theory
BaseOH drinks water
Bases form OH- in water
Bronstead Lowry Theory of acids and bases
Acids donate Hydrogen Ions in a reaction
Bases accepts Hydrogen ions in a reaction
Pneumonic to remember Bronstead Lowry Acid Base theory
BADHI
Bronstead acid donates Hydrogen Ions
coordinate covalent bond
where both electrons come from the same atom, when one atom donates a lone pair of elewctrons to th accepter atoms
Lewis theory
Acid is a electron pair accepter - accpets a lone pair of electrons to form coordinate covalnt bond
Bases is electron donor - donates lone pair of electron to a lewis acid to form coordinate covalent bond
Pnumenoic to remember Lewis acid base theory theory
Lewis’s acidic stomach loves electrons made by his base
Acid - Electron accepter
Base - Electron doner
Dissassociation
chemical process that occurs when acid/base dissaolved in water to break down to form H+ or OH- ions
how to classify string acids/bases and weak acids/bases
100% dissacoition/ionisation with Ion = strong
partiall disassociation/ionisation = weak
Eg of Strong and weak acids and bases (one each)
Strong Acid = HCl, HNO3, H2SO4
Strong Base = KOH, NaOh
Weak Acid = CH3COOH
Weak Base = NH3
Reaction of acid base and neutral with phenolphthalien
Acid - Colourless
Neutral - Faint Pink
Base - Dark pink
Reaction of acid base and neutral with bromethyl blue
Acid - Yellow
Neutral - Green
Base - Blue
Reaction of acid base and neutral with methyl orange
acid - red
neutral - yellowish orange
base - yellow
neutral substances
Neitheir acidic nor basic
pH = 7
Dont show colour change with litmus paper
Can be formed with acid mixes with a base
Universal pH indicator
a special solution made by mixing several different pH indicators. When added to an acidic or basic solution, it produces a specific color depending on the pH. By comparing this color to a pH color chart, we can estimate the pH of the solution.
How to form salts using reactions
Acid + metal oxide
acid + alkali
Acid + Metal
Acid + Metal carbonate
Reaction of acids with metal oxide
Acid + Metal oxide = Salt + H2O
reaction of acid with alkali
Acid + Alkali = salt + H20
(more basic alkali, more water produced)
Reaction of acid with reactive metal
Acid + Reactive Metal = Salt + H2
reaction of acid with metal carbonates
Acid + Metal carbonate = Salt + H2O + CO2
titration
Process to create salts of highly reactive alkali metals
Use of CaCO3
limestone and marble
