| 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 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. |

| 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. |
