unit 6 - acids and bases Flashcards
acids
Turns blue litmuss paper red
pH less than 7
Neutralises Bases
Form H+ ions in solutions
corrosive
Good conductor of electricity
bases
pH greater than 7
Turns red litmus paper into blue
Feels slippery
Forms OH- ions
Neutralises acids
Arhenius theory
Acids produces Hydrogen ions in water
Bases produce hydroxide ions in wate
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
how to classify string acids/bases and weak acids/bases
100% dissacoition/ionisation with Ion = strong
partiall disassociation/ionisation = weak
neutral substances
Neitheir acidic nor basic
pH = 7
Dont show colour change with litmus paper
Can be formed with acid mixes with a base
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
Reaction of acid with reactive metal
Acid + Reactive sMetal = 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
Use of CaSO4
plaster of paris
