What are cancelled out in a half equations?
Spectators
What is OIL RIG?
Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain
What do alkalis release when dissolved in water?
Hyrdoxide(OH-) ions
What do acids release when dissolved in water?
Hydrogen (H+) ions
How to name salts?
1st part - metal in compound used
2nd - comes from an acid
When does a salt change to -ide or -ate?
When an ion is made
What does a salt with an ending of -ate mean?
Oxygen is present in the negative ion
What is titration for?
Find the concentration of a solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration
How does titration work?
Find the amount of acid/alkali needed to neutralise alkali/acid
Method for titration question
- Work out moles of the solution of known concentration
- Use molar ratios form balanced to work out the moles of other solution
- Calculate the concentration of the other solution using titration equation
What is the concentration equation?
Moles/volume (mol/dm3)
What is concentration?
Concentration is measure of n.o of particles per unit volume
What is strength?
Strength is the measure of dissociation or ionisation of the acid or alkali in water
What is the pH scale for?
The concentration of H+ ions in the solution
What happens to the pH scale if the concentration of H+ ions increase by a factor of 10?
The pH scale decreases by 1
What happens to strong acids water?
They dissociate fully
What happens to weak acids in water?
They dissociate partially
What will a more concentrated acid have more available to release?
Hydrogen ions
What do reactions of acid involve?
The H+ ions reacting with other substances
What happens if concentration of H+ ions is high?
The rate of reaction will be faster
Why can a dilute solution of a strong acid have a similar pH and reactivity to a concentrated of a weak acid?
They have similar strengths
Iysis
Breaking something up
Electrolysis
Splitting a compound using electricity into their individual elements
What are liquid and solution that can conduct electricity called ?
Electrolytes
