def acid
a substance which produces H+ ions when dissolved in water
properties of acids (texture, taste, ph, conductivity)
corrosive, sour, 0>x>7, conducts electricity
solubility table: group I and ammonium salts
all soluble
solubility table: nitrate salts
all soluble
solubility table: sulfate salts
all soluble except lead. barium, calcium
solubility table: halide salts (group 7)
all soluble except silver, lead
solubility table: carbonate salts
all insoluble except sodium, potassium, ammonium
solubility table: hydroxide salts
all insoluble except sodium, potassium, ammonium
test for h2 gas
colourless, odourless hydrogen gas extinguishes a lighted splint with a “pop” sound
test for co2 gas
colourless, odourless carbon dioxide gas forms a white precipitate when bubbled into limewater
def base
a substance which reacts with acid to give out salt and water
def alkali
a base soluble in water
properties of alkalis (texture, taste, ph, conductivity)
corrosive, bitter, soapy, 7>x>14, turns moist red litmus paper blue, dissolves in water to form solutions which can conduct electricity
test for nh3 gas
colourless, pungent ammonia gas turns most red litmus blue
strong acid vs weak acid (conductivity)
strong acids conduct electricity better than weak acids
strong acid vs weak acid (molecules)
strong: exists as ions
weak: exists as molecules
salt prep: both soluble
titration
salt prep: 1 soluble
excess reactant method
salt prep: insoluble
precipitation
def acidic oxides (reaction with water, alkali)
non-metallic oxide
reacts w water to form an acid
reacts w alkali to form salt and water
eg of acidic oxides
sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide, nitrogen dioxide
def basic oxides (reaction with acid)
metallic oxide
forms an alkaline solution is soluble in water
reacts w acid to form a salt and water only
eg of basic oxides
potassium oxide, sodium oxide, copper oxide
def amphoteric oxides (reaction w acid, alkali)
metallic oxide which shows acidic and basic properties
reacts w acid/alkali to form a salt and water
