Reduction
Loss of oxygen from a substance Oxidisation Is Loss of electrons Reduction Is Gain of electrons
Oxidisation
Gain of oxygen by a substance Also: Oxidisation Is Loss of electrons Reduction Is Gain of electrons
Oxidising agent
Substance that initially has the oxygen before the reaction These accept electrons
Reducing agent
Substance that initially does not have the oxygen before the reaction These donate electrons
Does a redox equation always involve oxygen
No
Acids
Substances that release H+ ions when it dissolves in water to make an aqueous solution.
Bases
Substances, usually metal hydroxides or metal oxides, that neutralise acids If it dissolves in water, it is also called an alkali Alkalis release OH- ions when they dissolve in water
pH < 7
Acidic
pH = 7
Neutral
pH > 7
Alkaline
Range of pH scale
0 to 14 Most acidic 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Most alkaline I Neutral
What is neutralisation
Reaction between an acid and a base, or an alkali Forms a salt and water
Neutralisation equation
Acid + base -> salt + water
How do you predict salt made from neutralisation
First part comes from the metal in the base or alkali Exception: If ammonia or ammonium carbonate is used, name starts with ammonium Second part of the name comes from the acid used such as - Chloride (hydrochloride acid) - Nitrate (nitric acid) - Sulphate (sulphuric acid)
What salt is formed with hydrochloride acid? (HCl)
Chloride
What salt is formed with nitric acid? (HNO3)
Nitrate
What salt is formed with sulfuric acid? (H2SO4)
Sulfate
What salt is formed with phosphoric acid? (H3PO4)
Phosphate
Predicting a neutralisation reaction
1) identify salt produced 2) write the word equation 3) Write balanced chemical formula underneath with state symbols
What happens during neutralisation in solution
H+ ions from acidic solutions and OH- ions from alkaline solutions react to produce water. H+(aq) + OH-(aq) -> H2O(l) Salt produced depends on other ions present in the alkali and acid.
What are carbonates
Ionic compounds that contain the carbonate ion CO3²⁻
Reaction between acid and carbonate
Acid + carbonate -> salt + water + carbon dioxide
What carbonates are soluble in water
Sodium carbonate Ammonium carbonate Group 1 metal carbonates
Reaction between acids and metals
Acid + metal -> salt + hydrogen
