Q

What is the difference between acids and bases

A

The difference between acids and bases is that all acids release hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a solution, whereas soluble bases release hydroxide ions (OH⁻).

Q

Why are acids an alkalis conductive

A

Both are soluble bases that undergo dissociation when added to water, which means that individual ions are free to move through the solution.

Q

What is saturation

A

At a certain point when adding solute to a solvent, no more solute will dissolve into the solvent, and it will remain as a sediment in the beaker. At this point, the concentration of solution remains constant. When a solution reaches this point, we call it saturated. Before this it is unsaturated.

Q

What happens when weak acids and alkalis are dissolved in water

A

only partially ionise, and many molecules do not dissociate.

30
Q

Name the general reactions

A

ACID + BASE → SALT + WATER
ACID + CARBONATE → SALT + WATER + CARBON DIOXIDE
ACID + METAL → SALT + HYDROGEN

30
Q

What is ocean acidification

A

As carbon dioxide gas dissolves in sea water, it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3), a weak acid that dissociates into bicarbonate (HCO3-) and hydrogen ions (H+). Increased hydrogen ions mean an increase in the acidity of the ocean would occur.

30
Q

Impact of the ocean becoming more acidic

A

Dissolved CO2 molecules combine with water to form carbonic acid, which in turn combines with carbonate to form hydrogen carbonate. When the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, carbonate in the ocean decreases and its harder to form shells,

30
Q

What are alkenes

A

are the most basic organic molecules and often referred to as hydrocarbons. Only contains carbon and hydrogen atoms and are single bonded. Suffix of “-ane”

30
Q

What is an isomer

A

an organic molecule with the same molecular formula but a different structured formula is called an “isomer”.

30
Q

What are alkenes

A

only contain hydrogen and carbon atoms and are double bonded. Suffix of “-ene”

30
Q

What are alkynes

A

only contains carbon and hydrogen and contain a triple bond. Suffix of “-yne”

31
Q

What are alcohols

A

contains hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms. contains hydroxyl (-OH) functional group. All single bonds and has the suffix of “-ol”

32
Q

What are aldehydes

A

contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. contains carbonyl functional group at the end of a carbon chain which is a oxygen double bonded to a carbon. Suffix of “-al”.

33
Q

What are ketones

A

contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Functional group is when a carbon has a double bond to an oxygen and that carbon is bonded to two other carbons.

34
Q

What are carboxylic acids

A

contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. The functional group attached to one of the carbons has to be doubled bonded to an oxygen and an OH group attached to that same carbon.

35
Q

What are cis and trans isomers

A

Cis and trans isomers are types of geometric isomers, where the functional group is placed differently with regards to the double bond. In general, a cis isomer has molecules on one side of the double bond. A trans isomer has molecules on the other side of the double bond.

36
Q

What are cis isomers

A

A cis isomer has molecules on one side of the double bond. A trans isomer has molecules on the other side of the double bond.

37
Q

What are trans isomers

A

A trans isomer has molecules on the other side of the double bond.

51
Q

what are valence electrons

A

an electron on the outermost occupied energy level of an atom.

A

a shiny, malleable element that conducts heat or electricity.

52
Q

What is a non-metal

A

a dull, brittle element that does not conduct heat or electricity.

53
Q

What different ways the periodic is arranged

A
  • metal and nonmetals
  • in order of increasing atomic number
  • as the periods increases so do the number of energy levels in the electron configuration
54
Q

Define ionic bonds

A

ionic bonds are formed by one metal and one non-metal transferring atoms to become stable. It has a lattice structure

55
Q

Define covalent bonds

A

covalent bonds are formed by two non-metals, as they share electrons to become stable. have a discrete structure.

55
Q

Define metallic bonds

A

metallic bonds are formed by two metals in a sea of electrons. Also has a lattice structure.

56
Q

Recall the rules to follow in writing formulas

A

ionic - metal first and add -ide
covalent - prefixes (if needed) than add -ide
metallic - add -ide

57
Q

What are the properties of an ionic substance

A

ionic substances are made up of ions that form charges particles when an atom gains or losses electrons.

58
Q

What are the properties of a covalent substance

A

covalent substances is a molecule formed by covalent bonds in which the atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons.

59
Q

Define precipitate

A

an insoluble solid formed when tie soluble ionic substances react

60
Q

How is a net ionic equation different to a neutral species equation

A

a neutral species equation contains all products and reactants in a balanced equation and a net ionic equation only contains the ions that react.

61
Q

Recall how to use the activity series to determine if a reaction will take place

A

the reactivity series of metals ranks the metals from most reactive (top) to least reactive (bottom). When a solid metal is added to an ionic solution, if the metal is higher on the reactivity series it will “replace” the metal ion in the solution.
