GCSE Combined Science Chemistry

QuestionAnswer
Define an acidic solution in terms of ions. A solution which contains an excess of Hydrogen (H+) ions
Define an alkaline solution in terms of ions A solution which contains an excess of Hydroxide (OH-) ions
Define a neutral solution in terms of ions A solution which contains an equal number of H+ and OH- ions
What is an indicator? A substance that turns a different colour in an acidic solution compared to its colour in alkaline solution.
What colour is phenolphthalein in acid and alkaline solution? Colourless in acid, Pink in alkali
What colour is litmus in acid and alkaline solution? Red in acid, Blue in alkali
What colour is methyl orange in acid and alkaline solution? Red in acid, Yellow in alkali
State the formulae of hydrochloric, sulfuric and nitric acids. HCl, H2SO4, HNO3
What number denotes neutral on the pH scale? 7
How is the pH number of an acid related to its strength? The lower the pH the stronger the acid.
What is the range of numbers on the pH scale than mean the solution is an alkali 8 to 14.
A base is a compound that can neutralise acid. Name the three types of base. Metal Oxide, Metal Hydroxide, Metal Carbonate.
What is a neutralisation reaction? A reaction that involves an acid. A salt is always produced in a neutralisation reaction.
What is a salt? A compound formed when some or all of the hydrogen ions in an acidic solution are replaced by metal ions.
State the names of the salts produced by hydrochloric, sulfuric and nitric acids. Hydrochloric acid = Chlorides, Sulfuric acid= Sulfates, Nitric Acid = Nitrates
Complete the general equation metal + acid --> Salt + Hydrogen gas
What are the products of the reaction of magnesium with sulfuric acid? Magnesium Sulfate + Hydrogen
Complete the general equation metal oxide + acid → Salt + water
What are the products of the reaction of copper oxide with nitric acid? Copper Nitrate + Water
Complete the general equation metal hydroxide + acid → Salt + water
What are the products of the reaction of sodium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid Sodium Chloride + Water
Complete the general equation metal carbonate + acid → Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
Complete the general equation metal carbonate + acid → Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
What are the products of the reaction of calcium carbonate hydroxide with hydrochloric acid Calcium Chloride, water and Carbon Dioxide
What are the two methods by which we can measure the pH of a solution? Use universal indicator and compare the colour the indicator turns to a colour chart, use a pH probe.
If a salt is in solution how do you extract it as a solid? Allow the water to evaporate and it will leave the salt behind as a solid (crystallisation)
When we produce copper sulfate by reacting copper oxide with sulfuric acid how do remove the excess, unreacted copper oxide? Filtration.
Name the salts which are always soluble. Sodium, potassium, ammonium salts and nitrates.
Name the only two insoluble chlorides. Silver Chloride and Lead Chloride.
Name the only three insoluble sulfates Lead Sulfate, Barium Sulfate, Calcium Sulfate.
Name the two salts that are mostly insoluble. Carbonates and Hydroxides.
What do we call an insoluble solid produced by the reaction of two aqueous solutions? A precipitate.
How do we produce a pure dry sample of an insoluble solid produced by the reaction of two aqueous solutions? ·         Filter, Wash the residue with distilled water Dry in an oven.
What are the products of the reaction between silver nitrate solution and sodium chloride solution? Silver chloride and sodium nitrate.
What is the name of the insoluble product of the reaction of potassium sulfate solution with barium chloride solution? Barium Sulfate.
What does soluble mean? What does insoluble mean? Dissolves in water. Does not dissolve in water
Define acid in terms of pH A substance with a pH of less than 7
Which ions are always present in a solution of an alkali? OH⁻
How do you make a soluble salt from an acid? React the acid with a base. E.g. to make copper sulphate react copper oxide with sulphuric acid
If a salt is in solution, how do you extract it as a solid? Allow the water to evaporate off and it will leave the salt behind as a solid.
What is a concentrated acid? An acid where there are lots of acid particles in the water.
What is a dilute acid? An acid where there are fewer acid particles in the water.
How can hydrogen be tested for? Makes a squeaky pop when a splint is placed in it
How can carbon dioxide be tested for? Bubble through limewater, turns it milky (cloudy)
What colour is litmus in acid and alkali? Acid – red, alkali – blue
What colour is methyl orange in acid and alkali? Acid – red, alkali – yellow
What colour is phenol phthalein in acid and alkali? Acid – colourless, alkali – pink
How do you prepare a sample of a soluble salt from a base and an acid? Neutralisation, filtration, crystallisation
How do you prepare a sample of a soluble salt from an acid and an alkali? Titration, repeat titration without indicator, crystallisation
How do you prepare a sample of an insoluble salt from two solutions Combine, filtration.
Are nitrates Soluble or insoluble? Soluble
Are sodium salts soluble or insoluble? Soluble
Are chlorides soluble or insoluble? Soluble, except silver and lead compounds
Are sulphates soluble or insoluble? Soluble, except lead, barium and calcium compounds
Are carbonates soluble or insoluble? Insoluble, except sodium, potassium and ammonium
Are hydroxides soluble or insoluble? Insoluble, except sodium, potassium and ammonium
