  • Chemical Changes
    • Acids and Neutralisation
      • metal + acid ? salt + hydrogen
      • A salt is made when hydrogen ions in an acid are replaced by a metal ion
      • Solid alkaline = base
      • OILRIG
        • Oxidation is less
        • Reduction is gain
      • Redox reaction: when oxidation and reduction happens in same reaction
      • metal + acid ? hydrogen
        • products always oxidised
        • reactants always reduced
      • Base - metal oxide or insoluble metal hydroxide
        • An alkali produces OH- ions in water
      • Alkali - base dissolved in water
        • An alkali produces OH- ions in water
      • acid + base ? salt + water
      • acid + alkali ? salt + water
      • H+ + OH- ? H20
        • Neutralisation
        • All acids form H+ ions when added to water
      • Weak acids partially ionise in water
        • Strong acids completely ionise in water
        • Smaller conc. of H+ ions
          • So they have a higher pH
      • Dilute acid - more water particles
      • Concentrated acid - more acid particles
    • Electrolysis
      • Positive ions move to the cathode
        • They gain electrons ? reduction
      • Negative ions move to the anode
        • They lose electrons ? oxidation
      • For metal and hydrogen ions the most reactive stays in solution
      • Example: Sodium Chloride
        • Ions to anode
        • Ions to cathode: Na+ H+

    • Reactivity of metals
      • Metal + water ? metal hydroxide + hydrogen
      • More reactive metal displaces less reactive metal
        • Carbon can also displace some more reactive metals
        • Carbon used to remove oxygen from metal oxide = reduction
          • e.g. iron oxide + carbon ? carbon dioxide + iron
      • You can reduce certain metals using hydrogen  e/g/ tungsten
      • Unreactive metals e.g. gold can be found in native state
