Question Answer
Metal oxides and metal hydroxides are what? Metal oxides and metal hydroxides are bases.
A few bases are soluble in water, and are called what? A few bases are soluble in water, and are called alkalis.
Give two examples of bases that are soluble in water. Sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide.
When does neutralisation take place? Neutralisation takes place when an acid and a base react to make salt and water.
What is the word equation for neutralisation? The word equation for neutralisation is: acid + base → salt + water
Some indicators show a sudden colour change at one pH value. What does universal indicator show? Some indicators show a sudden colour change at one pH value. Universal indicator shows a gradual range of colour changes.
Why does it do this? As it contains a mixture of different indicators.
In solution, all acids contain which ions? In solution, all acids contain H+ ions (hydrogen ions).
What is the pH of an acid determined by? The pH of an acid is determined by the concentration of H+ ions.
The higher the concentration the lower or higher the pH? The higher the concentration the lower the pH.
Fill the gaps: Neutralisation leaves .. .... H+ ions. Neutralisation leaves no free H+ ions.
Alkalis contain which ions? Alkalis contain OH- ions (hydroxide ions).
Neutralisation involves what reaction? Neutralisation involves this reaction: H+ + OH- ↔ H2O
What do acids react with to form salts? Acids react with bases and metal carbonates to form salts.
What are the word equations for making salt? The word equations or making salt are: acid + base → salt + water acid + metal carbonate → salt + water + carbon dioxide
Salt names have two parts - what does the second part of the name show? Salt names have two parts - the second part of the name shows which acid it has been made from.
Give the second part of the salt name for each of these common acids: Sulfuric Nitric Hydrochloric Phosphoric Sulfuric - sulfate Nitric - nitrate Hydrochloric - chloride Phosphoric - phosphate
Some common chemical equations for the neutralisation of acids by a base or metal carbonate can be constructed using what? Some common chemical equations for the neutralisation of acids by a base or metal carbonate can be constructed using: - sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid - ammonia, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and copper oxide - sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate.
What the word equation for the reaction between hydrochloric acid and copper carbonate? hydrochloric acid + copper carbonate → copper chloride + water + carbon dioxide
Write the balanced symbol equation for the reaction between hydrochloric acid and copper carbonate. 2HCl + CuCO3 → CuCl2 + H2O + CO2
