🗑
|
||||
| Can acids cause some substances to change color? | Yes
🗑
|
||||
| How do hydronium ions form? | When a hydrogen ion, H+, separates from the acid and bonds with a water molecule, H2O, to form a hydronium ion, H3O+

🗑
|
||||
| Are many acids corrosive? | Yes
🗑
|
||||
| Are most acids are also poisonous? | Yes
🗑
|
||||
| What is an indicator? | A substance that changes color in the presence of an acid or base
🗑
|
||||
| A kind of indicator that can be used in what? | Bromthymol blue, an indicator, and water
🗑
|
||||
| What color does the indicator change when an acid is present? | The color changes from pale blue to yellow because the indicator detects the presence of an acid
🗑
|
||||
| When acids react with some metals, what does it produce? | Hydrogen gas
🗑
|
||||
| An example of acids reacting to metals is when hydrochloric acid reacts with zinc metal to produce hydrogen gas, what is the equation for the reaction? | 2HCl + Zn → H2 + ZnCl2
🗑
|
||||
| In an reaction, how does zinc displaces hydrogen in the compound? | Hydrochloric acid
🗑
|
||||
| What is the reason for the displacement of zinc? | This displacement happens because zinc is an active metal
🗑
|
||||
| What would happen if silver were put into hydrochloric acid? Why? | Nothing would happen because silver is not an active metal, so no reaction would take place
🗑
|
||||
| When acids are dissolved in water what do they do? | They break apart and form ions in the solution
🗑
|
||||
| What do ions in acids make a solution possible for? | An electric current
🗑
|
||||
| What is an example of how an acid can be used to produce an electric current? How? | A car battery is one example because the sulfuric acid in the battery conducts electricity to help start the car’s engine
🗑
|
||||
| What forms when zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid? | Bubbles of hydrogen gas
🗑
|
||||
| Acids are used in many areas of what? | Industry and in homes
🗑
|
||||
| What is the most widely made industrial chemical in the world? | Sulfuric acid
🗑
|
||||
| What kind of products use sulfuric acid? | Paper, paint, detergents, and fertilizers
🗑
|
||||
| What kind of products use nitric acid? | Fertilizers, rubber, and plastics
🗑
|
||||
| Hydrochloric acid is used to make what? How? | Metals from their ores by separating the metals from the materials with which they are combined; it is also used in swimming pools to help keep them free of algae, and is even found in your stomach, where it aids in digestion.
🗑
|
||||
| Hydrofluoric acid is used to do what? | Etch glass
🗑
|
||||
| What is found in orange juice? | Citric acid and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)
🗑
|
||||
| What gives a sharp taste to soft drinks? | Carbonic acid and phosphoric acid
🗑
|
||||
| A base is any compound that increases the number of what? | Hydroxide ions, OH–, when dissolved in water
🗑
|
||||
| Sodium hydroxide breaks apart to form what? | Sodium ions and hydroxide ions
🗑
|
||||
| What is the equation to the reaction when sodium hydroxide breaks apart to form sodium ions and hydroxide ions? | NaOH → Na+ + OH–
🗑
|
||||
| Hydroxide ions give bases? | Their properties
🗑
|
||||
| What are four examples of bases? | Soap, bleach, detergent, and baking soda
🗑
|
||||
| What is a property of a base involving taste? | Bitter taste
🗑
|
||||
| Are many bases are corrosive? | Yes
🗑
|
||||
| The indicator, bromthymol blue, turns what color when a base is added to it? | Blue
🗑
|
||||
| Do solutions of bases conduct electricity? Why? | Solutions of bases conduct an electric current because bases increase the number of hydroxide ions, OH–, in a solution
🗑
|
||||
| What is a hydroxide ion? What gives it it's negative charge? | A hydroxide ion is actually a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom bonded together; the extra electron gives the hydroxide ion a negative charge
🗑
|
||||
| Sodium hydroxide is a base used to make what? | Soap and paper
🗑
|
||||
| What can it also be used in? | Oven cleaners and in products that unclog drains
🗑
|
||||
| Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, is used to make what? | Cement and plaster
🗑
|
||||
| Ammonia is found in many what? | Household cleaners and is used to make fertilizers
🗑
|
||||
| Magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide are used in what? | Antacids to treat heartburn
🗑
|
||||
| Bases can be used as what? | Cleaning agents, as cooking aids, and as medicines
🗑
|
||||
