Q

why shouldn’t we use universal indicators for titrations?

A

universal indicators change from colour to colour (a mixture of colours) when doing titrations we want a sudden colour change

17
Q

what do metal and oxygen make?

A

metal + oxygen —> metal oxide

18
Q

what do metal and water make?

A

metal + water —> metal hydroxide + hydrogen

19
Q

what metal and acid make?

A

metal + acid —> salt + hydrogen

20
Q

what does metal carbonate + acid make?

A

metal carbonate + acid —> salt + water + carbon dioxide

21
Q

what does a metal oxide and acid make?

A

metal oxide + acid —> salt + water

22
Q

test for chlorine

A

chlorine bleaches damp litmus paper, turning it white

23
Q

hydrogen test

A

squeaky pop, with a lighted splint

24
Q

test for oxygen

A

oxygen will relight a glowing splint

25
Q

why does the anode need to be continuously replaced?

A

oxygen is produced in the anode which is made of carbon
this carbon reacts with the oxygen to produce carbon dioxide
