Whats sulfuric acids formula
H2SO4
whats hydrochloric acids formula
HCl
Whats nitric acids formula
HNO3
Whats phosphoric acids formula
H3PO4
Whats carbonic acids formula
H2CO3
how is something an acid
acids release h+ ions in aqueous solutions
Metals below hydrogen wont do what?
react with dilute acid but can react with concentrated acid
metal + acid —>
salt + hydrogen
which is in excess and which is limiting reactant in the salt + acid equation?
metal is in excess,, acid is the limiting reactant
metal oxide + acid —>
metal salt + hydrogen
metal carbonate + acid –>
metal salt + water + CO2
whats the method to making salt?
using a measuring cylinder, measure 25cm of acid/a into a beaker of cone
warm the acid
add excess metal/ metal oxide/ metal carbonate until more dissolves and some solid is left at the bottom
filtration - using filter paper and funnel and conical flask to filter out excess solid
pour into evaporating basin, evaporate until crystals form on rim, sols now saturated, leave basin on window sill 4 water to evporate and crystals to appear, pat dry w/ filter paper
how can soluble salts be made?
from reacting insoluble bases w/ acids
what is a base
a substance that neutralises acid ( metal oxide, metal carbonate etc)
base + acid —>
salt + water
what is a strong acid
a strong acid will completely ionise to produce H+ ions
whats THE neutralisation reaction equation?
H+ + OH- –> H2O
what does a weak acid do
partially ionises releasing few H+ ions in aqueous solution
whats a dilute acid
whats a concentrated acid
a small amount of acid (H+ IONS) per unit volume of solution
bigger amount of acid per unit volume of solution
how does the strength of an acid relate to rate of reaction
a strong acid is more reactive than a weak acid of the same concentration
how can an acid be both strong and dilute
acids dilute when theres a small amount of acid per unit volume but strong because it completely ionises to form H+ ions in water
what is pH
a measure of H+ ion concentration
what happens to H+ ion concentration as pH increases
H+ ion concentration decreases (inverse scale)
whats a pure substance
a single element or compound not mixed with any other substance
