Chemistry

Acids, Bases and Salts

QuestionAnswer
Methyl orange turns red in acids of 4.3 and lower, and yellow in solutions higher than that.
Red litmus paper turns blue in pH 8.3 and higher.
Blue litmus paper turns red in pH 4.5 and lower.
Phenolphthalein Turns pink in pH 9 and higher, and is clear otherwise.
Acid + Metal oxide (base) Salt + Water
Metal + Acid Salt + Hydrogen
Acid + Alkali (Metal hydroxide) Salt + Water
Metal carbonate + Acid salt + water + carbon dioxide
A salt is formed when a metal ion replaces the H+ in an acid. E.g. KOH + HCl -> KCl + H20
Alkalis are bases which can dissolve in water, forming OH-(aq) when added to water.
O2 test glowing splint relights
H2 test squeaky pop
Soluble in water: All common Na,K,Ammonium All nitrates Most chlorides, except silver and lead Most sulfates, except Pb,Ba,Ca
Insoluble in water: Most carbonates, except Na,K,Ammonium Most hydroxides, except Na,K,Ammonium
Explain neutralisation The pH of a solution is determined by the proportion of H to OH. When H and OH mix, they make H2O, which is neutral
Each number difference on the pH scale is a ___ change in that ion concentration. x10
The stronger the acid/alkali, the more it splits into its ions when in a solution. Strong acids fully split, causing a high concentration of H+. Weak acids only partly split, causing a lower concentration. The more dilute, the more water.
Precipitation The method of mixing soluble salt solutions together to form a soluble salt solution and an insoluble salt. This insoluble salt is then residue when the mixture is filtered, and is washed multiple times before being dried fully on a dish in an oven
Neutralisation The method in which acids and alkalis are mixed to produce a neutral solution.
Filtration The method in which a mixture is poured through filter paper in order to separate insoluble parts of the mixture.
Crystallisation The forming of crystals via a solution’s evaporation.
Making soluble salts Add excess solid salt to solution of the other salt. Stir and put in water bath to check that after few minutes in bath, there is still excess, showing it's neutral. Filter. Heat solution with bunsen until half evapora. Pour in dish and dry fully in oven.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
