Question
Answer
Why does the stomach produce hydrochloric acid?   1) To help digestion 2) To kill bacteria that may be on the food  
🗑
What is indigestion?   When too much hydrochloric acid is produced by the stomach  
🗑
What is heartburn?   When some of the excess acid produced by the stomach escapes out of the top of the stomach  
🗑
What are antacids?   Indigestion remedies containing bases that neutralise the excess acid  
🗑
What is the difference between a base and an alkali?   A base is a substance that reacts with acids- an alkali is a water soluble base  
🗑
Metal oxide + acid -> ?   Salt + water (neutralisation reaction)  
🗑
Metal hydroxide + acid -> ?   Salt + water (neutralisation reaction)  
🗑
Metal carbonate + acid -> ?   Carbon dioxide + salt + water (neutralisation reaction)  
🗑
Hydrochloric acid produces _____ salts   Chloride  
🗑
Nitric acid produces _____ salts   Nitrate  
🗑
Sulphuric acid produces _____ salts   Sulphate  
🗑
What bases are usually found in antacids?   Calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide  
🗑
What is electrolysis?   The process where a ionic compound is decomposed by electricity from a d.c. supply  
🗑
What does the electroylsis of sea water produce?   Annode: chlorine gas Cathode: hydrogen gas  
🗑
What does the electroylsis of hydrochloric acid produce?   Annode: chlorine gas Cathode: hydrogen gas  
🗑
What does the electroylsis of water produce?   Annode: oxygen gas Cathode: hydrogen gas (in the ratio of 1:2)  
🗑
What is an electrolyte?   A compound that can be decomposed by electrolysis  
🗑
What is the test for chlorine?   When clorine gas is put on a piece of damp blue litmus paper, the paper will turn red because it is an acid, then will turn white as the chloring bleaches it.  
🗑
What is the test for hydrogen?   If hydrogen is present in a test tube, a lit splint will explode when it is placed at the mouth of the test tube with a small, sqeaky pop  
🗑
What is the test for oxygen?   If oxygen is present in a test tube, a glowing splint will relight when put in the tube  
🗑
What is a use of hydrogen gas?   It is used as rocket fuel  
🗑
What are some uses of chlorine?   * It treats our water supply, killing micro-organisms * It kills bacteria in swimming pools * It is used in the manufacture of plastics like PVC [polychloroethene] * it is used in the manufacture of cleaning products like bleach  
🗑
What are some risks with chlorine?   So much chlorine is produced from electrolysis that if a factory was to leak, meany people could be killed or badly injured  
🗑
