Module 2: Acids And Redox Flashcards
Acids and bases
What are acids (short)
Proton donors
Acids and bases
What are acids (long)
When mixed with water they release hydrogen ions- H+
Acids and bases
What are strong acids
When an acid completely dissociates to release H+ ions in aqueous solution
Acids and bases
Example of strong acid
HCl
Acids and bases
Example of HCl ionising
HCl (aq) —> H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Acids and bases
What is a weak acid
An acid which only partially dissociates to release H+ ions in an aqueous solution
Acids and bases
Example of as weak acid
Ethanoic acid
Acids and bases
Ethanoic acid partially ionising equation
CH3COOH(aq) <=> H+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq)
Acids and bases
What does an equilibrium sign indicate in acids
An incomplete reaction therefore a weak acid
Acids and bases
Formula for hydrochloride acid
HCl
Acids and bases
Formula for sulphuric acid
H2SO4
Acids and bases
Formula for nitric acid
HNO3
Acids and bases
What are classed as bases
Metal oxides, metal hydroxides, metal carbonates and ammonia
Acids and bases
What do bases do to acids
Neutralise them to form salts
Acids and bases
What are alkalis
When a base dissolves in water releasing OH-ions
Acids and bases
Common examples of metal oxide bases
MgO
CaO
Acids and bases
Examples of common metal carbonate bases
Na2CO3
CaCO3
CuCO3
Acids and bases
Examples of common alkalis
NaOH
KOH
NH3
Acids and bases
What happens in neutralisation of acid
H+ ions react with a base to form a salt and neutral water
