chemical reactions Flashcards
(30 cards)
metal + oxygen
metal oxide
what’s gaining oxygen called
oxidation
whats losing oxygen called
reduction
Metal + Water makes
Metal hydroxide + Hydrogen
What’s metal reactivity dependent on
its ability to ose an electron and form an positive ion
Why are metals that are unreactive found by itself
It does not reactive with anything
oil rig stands for
oxidation is loss
reduction is gain
in aqueous solutions what does acid produce
H+ ions
what is an alkali
bases soluble in water
what are bases
chemicals that neutralise acid that produce salt and water
what do alkalis produce in aqueous solutions
hydroxide
how can determine Ph
ph probe or universal indicator
what do acids and alkali produce
water
H+ + OH- = h20
what do all acids contain
hydrogen
acid + metal
salt + hydrogen
acid + alkali/base
salt + water
acid + metal carbonate
salt + water + carbon dioxide
what do strong acids do in aqueous solutions
fully ionise
how do we know if an acid fully ionises
one arrow
what has a lower ph strong acids or weak acid
strong acid
what do weak acids do in aqueous solutions
partially ionise
how do we know if a weak acid partially ionised
2 arrows
name 3 strong acids
