Acids, bases and salts
- DEFINITIONS
- Acid
- Strong acids turn universal
indicator paper red
- Bases
- React with acids to neutralise
them to make a salt and water
- They are usually metal oxides or metal hydroxides
- Accepts hydrogen ions
- Alkalis
- Bases that dissolve in water
- Strong alkalis turn universal indicator
paper dark purple or blue
- Contain hyrdoxide ions
- Neutral solutions
- Universal indicator paper: green
- Nuetralisation reactions
- Alkalis
- Produce aqueous hyrdoxide ions, OH–(aq)
- Acids
- Produce aqueous hyrdrogen ions, H+ (aq)
- When the H+(aq) ions from an acid react with the OH–(aq) ions from
an alkali, a neutralisation reaction occurs to form water.
- H+(aq) + OH–(aq) → H2O(l)
- Salts
- Hydrochloric acid → chloride
- Sulphuric acid → sulphate
- Nitric acid → nitrate
- The first part of the name is 'ammonium' if the base used is ammonia.
- Any metal from group 1 or 2 will give a white salts
- Transition metals give a coloured salt
- Souble salts
- All nitrates, most sulfates, chlorides, bromides and iodides
- Insouble salts
- if you want to make an insoluble salt XY, mixing X nitrate with sodium Y will always work.
- Ammonia
- Is an alkali
- If reacts with acids produces a salt instead of water
- Many artificial fertilisers are ammonium salts, made by the reaction of an acid with ammonia solution.
- Reactions with acids
- MASH
- Metal + Acid → Salt + Hyrdogen
- AASH2O
- Alkali + Acid → Salt + Water
