  • acids and bases
    • ph scale is measure of how acidic or alkaline something is
    • indicator is a dye that changes colours due to ph
    • ph probe gives you a number due to its ph
    • acid + base = salt + water
    • H+ + OH- = H2O
  • tittrations
    • exactly how much acid is needed to neutralise alkali
    • using pipette and filter add set volume of alkali to conical flask with indicator
    • fill burette with acid of known concentration , record initial volume
    • add acid to alkali bit by bit , give flask regular swirl
    • indicator changes colour when all alkali neutralised
    • record final volume of acid
  • single indicators
    • blue in alkali red in acid = litmus
    • pink in alkali colourless in acids = phenolphthalein
    • yellow in alkali red in acids = methyl orange
  • strong and weak acids
    • strong acids ionise completely in water and release all H= ions
    • weak acids do not fully ionise in water and release some H+ ions , reaction reversible
    • ph of acid or alkali is measure of concentration of H+
  • reaction of acids
    • acid + metal oxide = salt + water
    • acid + metal hydroxide = salt + water
    • acid + metal carbonate = salt + water carbon dioxide
    • making soluble salts with insoluble base
    • gently warm acid with bunsen burner
    • add insoluble base to acid until in excess
    • filter out excess solid in solution
    • pure , solid srcytals heat using water bath
  • reactivity series
    • potassium
    • sodium|
    • lithium
    • calcium
    • magnesium
    • carbon
    • zinc
    • iron
    • tin
    • lead
    • hydrogen
    • copper
    • silver
    • gold
    • acid + metal = salt + hydrogen
    • metal + water = metal hydroxide + hydrogen
  • separating metals from metal oxides
    • formation of metal ore = oxidation
    • extraction of metal = reduction
    • any metal below carbon in reactivity series can be reduced by carbon
  • redox reactions
    • electrons transferred , its redox
    • displacements reactions
  • electrolysis
    • positive ions in electrolyte move towards cathode and gain electrons vice versa
    • creates flow of charge
    • ionic solid cant be reducded because ion can move freely
    • metals extracted from ores
    • aluminium extracted from bauxite
    • aluminium oxide has high melting so mixed with cryolite
    • molten mixture contain free ions
    • positive al3+^3+ attracted to cathode turn into neutral atoms sink
    • negative o2^2attracted to anode turn to neutral oxygen , combine to form O2 molecules
  • electrolysis of aqueous solutions
    • hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ion (OH-)
    • cathode = hydrogen ions if metal ions more reactive
    • anode = halide ions present they are produced in not OH- ions
