Unit 7 Flashcards
Acids have a PH of
<7
Bases have a pH of
> 7
When acids are added to water they form
Hydrogen ions, H+
Bases form
Hydroxide ions OH-
Equation for when acids react with metals
Metal + acid -> salt + hydrogen
Mash
Neutralisation reaction
Base + acid -> water + salt
baws
Carbonate + acid ->
Carbon dioxide + salt + water

Ammounium salts will
Decompose when warmed with an alkali
A salt is formed
A neat realisation reaction occurs when an
Acid reacts with an alkali
Hydrochloride acid ->
Sulfuric acid ->
Nitric acid ->
Chloride
Sulfate
Nitrate
Synthetic indicators are used to show the
Endpoint of titrations as they have a very sharp change of colour when an acid has been neutralised by alkali vice versa
A base which is water soluble is referred as
An alkali
