Question Answer
When mixed with water all acids release what? Hydrogen ions - H+
When bases mix with water what happens? They grab hydrogen ions - H+
Acids are proton what? Donors
Bases are proton what? Acceptors
Write the equation for sulfuric acid mixing with water? H2SO4 + H2O --> 2H+ + SO4(2-)
Write the equation for hydrochloric acid mixing with water? HCl + H2O --> H+ + Cl-
What do you get if an acid is mixed with water and the hydrogen ions are replaced by metal ions or ammonium ions? A salt.
Different acids produce different salts, Name the salts produced by sulphuric acid hydrochloric acid and nitric acid? Sulphates, chlorides and nitrates
What happens when acids react with bases? They neutralise each other
What is an alkali? A base that dissolves in water
Name the three most common bases? Metal oxides, metal hydroxides and ammonia.
What are the two main alkalis? Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide
When alkalis are mixed with water what do they release? OH- ions
What combines to cause neutralisation when acids are added to alkalis? The OH- ions join with the H+ ions producing water molecules.
A metal oxide + an acid produces what? A salt and water
Write the normal equation and the ionic equation for magnesium oxide being mixed with hydrochloric acid? MgO + 2HCl --> MgCl + H2O O2- + 2H+ --> H2O
What is produced when a metal hydroxide mixes with an acid? Salt and water
Write the normal equation and the ionic equation for potassium hydroxide mixing with hydrochloric acid? KOH + HCl --> KCl + H2O OH- + H+ --> H2O
Name the main base used? Ammonia NH3
Is aqueous ammonia an acid, base or alkali? An alkali
What can then form when aqueous ammonia accepts a proton from an acid to form an ammonium ion? Ammonium salt
Write two equations for ammonia reacting with nitric acid and sulphuric acid? NH3 + HNO3 --> NH4NO3 2NH3 + H2SO4 --> (NH4)2SO4
What is the ionic equation for ammonia reacting with an acid? NH3 + H+ --> NH4+
What is produced when a metal reacts with an acid? And metal salt and hydrogen
Write the normal and ionic equation for magnesium reacting with sulphuric acid? Mg + H2SO4 --> MgSO4 + H2 Mg + 2H+ --> Mg2+ + H2
What is produced when a metal carbonate reacts with an acid? A metal salt, carbon dioxide and water
Write the normal and ionic equation for sodium carbonate reacting with hydrochloric acid? Na2CO3 + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O CO3(2-) + 2H+ --> CO2+ H2O
What are the two types of salt? Anhydrous or hydrated
What is water of crystallisation? The water in a lattice.
What type of salt is a solid salt containing water of crystallisation? A hydrated salt
Does and Anhydrous salt contain water of crystallisation? No
How many moles of water of crystallisation does one mole of a particular hydrated salt have? It's formula will tell you (it's always a whole number)
What happens when hydrated salts lose their water Crystallisation when heated They become anhydrous
Solve: Heating 3.210g of hydrated magnesium sulfate, MgSO4 . XH2O, forms 1.567g of anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Find the value of x and write the formula of the hydrated salt. First, find the mass of water lost: 3.210-1.567 = 1.643g Moles= mass/molar mass 1.643g/18= 0.0913moles Molar mass of MgSO4=120gmol-1 Moles= 1.567/120=0.0131moles 0.0131moles of salt:0.0913moles of water 0.0131/0.0131=1 mole of salt. 0.0913/0.0131= 6.97moles of water Since X must be a whole number you can round your result to 7 The formula = MgSO4 . 7H2O
