New cards

What is an acid?

A substance that dissolves in solution to produce an H+ ion and has a pH lower than 7

7
New cards

What is an alkali?

A soluble base that produces OH- ions when dissolved with a pH higher than 7

8
New cards

What is a solvent?

The liquid in which a solute dissolves to form a solution

9
New cards

What is a solute?

A solid substance that dissolves in liquid

10
New cards

What is a solution?

A mixture formed by a solute and a solvent

11
New cards

What is an insoluble solid?

A solid unable to dissolve in solvent

12
New cards

What is a soluble solid?

A solid able to dissolve in solvent

13
New cards

What is a precipitation reaction?

A reaction in which an insoluble solid is formed

14
New cards

What is an ionic equation?

A chemical equation which shows how positively charged ions and negatively charged ions react and make a compound

15
New cards

How do you form an ionic equation?

By writing out the balanced chemical equation for a reaction, writing the equation with the ions and cancelling out the spectator ions

16
New cards

What is a base?

A substance that can neutralise by accepting an H+ ion

17
New cards

What is the symbol/formula for hydrochloric acid?

HCl (H+ + Cl-)

18
New cards

What is the symbol/formula for sulfuric acid?

H2SO4 (2H+ + SO4-2)

19
New cards

What is the symbol/formula for nitric acid?

HNO3 (H+ + NO3-)

20
New cards

What is a neutralisation reaction?

Acid + base/alkali → Salt + water

21
New cards

What is a strong acid?

A substance which fully ionises in solution to produce H+ ions (arrow in reaction shows fully ionised)

22
New cards

What is a weak acid?

A substance which partially ionises in solution to release H+ ions (equilibrium/reversible arrow shows not fully ionised)

23
New cards

What is a concentrated acid?

An acid with little to no water mixed in with the acid molecules

24
New cards

What is a dilute acid?

An acid with a large amount of water mixed in with acid molecules

25
New cards

What are reactions between acids and metals?

Redox reactions

26
New cards

What is a redox reaction?

A reaction where oxidation (losing electrons) and reduction (gaining electrons) take place at the same time

27
New cards

OIL RIG

Oxidation is loss, reduction is gain

28
New cards

How can you tell which elements are oxidised and which are reduced in a redox reaction?

By using an ionic equation to find which has lost electrons and which has gained electrons

29
New cards

What are spectator ions?

Ions which are the same on both sides of an ionic equation

30
New cards

What happens in neutralisation reactions between an acid and an alkali?

Hydrogen ions react with hydroxide ions to form water

31
New cards

What is neutrality?

When a solution has a pH of 7 and the concentration of hydrogen ions is equal to concentration of hydroxide ions

32
New cards

What is relative acidity?

When a solution has a pH below 7 and the concentration of hydrogen ions is higher than the concentration of hydroxide ions

33
New cards

How do universal and wide range indicators measure pH?

By showing a colour change to display the pH

34
New cards

What is a filtrate?

Liquid which is filtered/drips through filter paper

35
New cards

How do you carry out the insoluble base method? (13 steps)

Measure volume of acid into beaker, set up tripod, gently heat acid until it reaches 70C, turn off bunsen burner, use spatula to add small amounts of metal powder, stir with glass rod, continue to add until some powder remains (excess), set up filter funnel and paper over conical flask, pour filtrate into evaporating basin over 250cm3 beaker of boiling water (water bath), evaporate, turn off bunsen burner when crystals begin to form, leave crystals to form for min. 24hrs, remove with spatula and pat dry using filter paper

36
New cards

How do you carry out titration? (10 steps)

Rinse burette and pipette with distilled water, then burette with acid and pipette with alkali, discard solution used to rinse, use pipette to transfer (25cm3) of alkali to conical flask (which should be on a white tile), add 3 drops of (methyl orange) indicator, fill the burette with the acid and note the starting volume, add the acid to the alkali while swirling the flask, and stop when the indicator changes colour, take the final volume of the acid, repeat 3 times and make a table of results

37
New cards

Why does the tile need to be white under the conical flask in a titration practical?

So the colour change of the indicator can be clearly seen
