front 1 What do acids release when dissolved in water | back 1 H+ ions |
front 2 What is a strong acid, with an example | back 2 an acid that releases all its hydrogen atoms into the solution as H+ ions and completely dissociates in in aqueous solution e.g. HCl |
front 3 What is a weak acid with an example | back 3 an acid that only releases a small proportion of its available hydrogen atoms into a solution as H+ ions, this type of acid partially dissociates in aqueous solution e.g. CH3COOH(aq) ⇌ H++ CH3COO-, even then only one in every hundred molecules dissociate, making this a weak acid |
front 4 what is a base | back 4 something that neutralises an acid to form a salt |
front 5 what is an alkali | back 5 a base that dissolves in water to release OH- ions into the solution |
front 6 what is the ionic equation for a neutralisation reaction (for hydroxides and carbonates) | back 6 H+ + OH- → H2O CO3 2- + 2H+ → H2O + CO2 |
front 7 What is and what are the uses of a titration | back 7 a technique used to accurately measure the volume of one solution that reacts exactly with another solution, they can be used for:
|
front 8 Which container is used to prepare a standard solution | back 8 volumetric flask |
front 9 explain the steps in preparing a standard solution | back 9
|
front 10 how do you calculate the mean titre in a titration | back 10 only using the concordant (within 0.1 cm^3 of each other) results |
front 11 what is the equation used in titrations involving conc. | back 11 no. of moles (mol) = concentration (mol dm-3) * volume (dm3) or n = cv |
