1
Q

Physical change

A

A change in a substance doesn’t change what the substance is, it only changes the appearance of a substance, not its chemical properties.

Q

What happens in chemical reactions?

A

In a chemical reaction, the reactants combine together to form a new substance with different properties, energy can be given out in the form of heat or light and the change cannot be reversed.

Q

What is the formula for reacting with metals and acids?

A

Metal + acid —-> salt + hydrogen

20
Q

What happen when magnesium is placed in hydrochloric acid?

A

They react and form magnesium chloride (a salt) and hydrogen

21
Q

Write the word equation for magnesium and hydrochloric acid?

A

Magnesium + hydrochloric acid —–> magnesium chloride + hydrogen

22
Q

What happen when zinc is placed in sulfuric acid?

A

They react and form zinc sulfate (a salt) and hydrogen

23
Q

Write the word equation for zinc and sulfuric acid?

A

Zinc + sulfuric acid —–> zinc sulfate + hydrogen

24
Q

How can we test for hydrogen?

A

By using a burning splint. If we get a squeaky pop, hydrogen has been produced

25
Q

What happens when hydrogen pops?

A

Hydrogen + oxygen —-> water

26
Q

What is the formula for reacting with carbonates and acids?

A

Carbonate + acid —-> salt + water + carbon dioxide

27
Q

What happen when limestone is placed in hydrochloric acid?

A

They react and form calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide

28
Q

Write the word equation for limestone and hydrochloric acid

A

calcium carbonate + hydrochloric —–> calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide

29
Q

What happen when copper carbonate is placed in hydrochloric acid?

A

They react and form copper chloride + water + carbon dioxide

30
Q

Write the word equation for copper carbonate and hydrochloric acid

A

copper carbonate + hydrochloric —–> copper chloride + water + carbon dioxide

31
Q

How can we test for carbon dioxide?

A
  • We can use a lighted splint
  • We can use limewater, to see if it goes cloudy
32
Q

What happens in a chemical reaction when they get heated?

A

They form new combinations so no atoms are lost and no new atoms are produced

33
Q

What will happen to the mass of calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid with a stopper?

A

The mass will stay the same because there is a stopper so no atoms can leave or enter

34
Q

Conservation of mass

A

The rule that no mass is lost or gained in a chemical reaction

35
Q

Who is Antoine Lavoisier?

A

A French scientist who carried out an experiment using the crucible in 1772. He repeated it a lot of times and found out he had an increase in mass every time so he came up with the idea that when we burn something it combines with a gas from the air that he named oxygen (He also found out that this gas is used in respiration as well)

36
Q

What will happen to the mass of calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid without a stopper?

A

The gas escapes into the air because the flask is open. We cant measure the mass so it appears as if the mass decreases

37
Q

What will happen to the mass of magnesium and oxygen in a crucible?

A

The gas will increase because we are allowing oxygen to come into the crucible so the Magnesium oxide will be heavier

38
Q

How can we detect chemical reactions?

A
  • A color change
  • A gas is given off
  • Heat is produced
  • A change in pH
  • A precipitate is formed
39
Q

Color change

A

e.g when we heat black copper oxide with sulfuric acid produces a blue solution of copper sulfate

40
Q

What happens when copper oxide and sulfuric acid react together?

A

Copper oxide + sulfuric acid —> copper sulfate + water

41
Q

Gas is given off

A

e.g when magnesium is placed in hydrochloric acid bubbles of hydrogen gas are given off

42
Q

What happens when magnesium and hydrochloric acid react together?

A

Magnesium + hydrochloric —> magnesium chloride + hydrogen

43
Q

Change in pH

A

If you add potassium to water that contains a universal indicator you see the indicator change color from green to purple. This shows that the solution has become alkaline the pH has changed

44
Q

Heat is produced

A

e.g when potassium is placed in water, hydrogen gas is given off

45
Q

What happens when potassium and water react together?

A

potassium + water —> potassium hydroxide + hydrogen

46
Q

Neutralization reaction

A

A reaction in which an acid and an alkali form a salt and water and when an acid is used to neutralize an alkali, there is also a change in ph

47
Q

A precipitate is formed

A

If you mix solutions of silver nitrate and calcium chloride, a chemical reaction takes place reaction, and an insoluble solid is formed (silver chloride). This is called a precipitate.
You might have used limewater to detect carbon dioxide.

48
Q

What happens when sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid react together?

A

sodium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid —> sodium chloride + water

49
Q

Why does carbon dioxide make limewater cloudy?

A

Carbon dioxide makes lime water turn cloudy because a precipitate of calcium carbonate forms.

50
Q

What is a solution of calcium hydroxide?

A

Limewater

51
Q

What happens when calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide react together?

A

calcium hydroxide + carbon dioxde —> calcium carbonate + water
