The scale where acids and alkalis are determined. 1-6 is acid, 7 is neutral and 8-14 is alkali.

What is an indicator?
A dye that changes the colour of a solution to match the pH scale.
2 of 10
How does neutralisation work?
Acids form H+ ions in water, alkalis form OH- ions in water. Acid + base -> salt + water
3 of 10
What are the state symbols?
(s) - solid (l) - liquid (g) - gas (aq) - aqueous/dissolved in water
4 of 10
How do acids react with metals?
acid + metal -> salt + hydrogen
5 of 10
What is the experiment for metal salts?
Put dilute acid in a test tube with a piece of metal. Light a splint and place it near the top of the test tube. If it squeaks, the hydrogen is present so the salt is being made.
6 of 10
Which metals will react with acids?
Only the metals which are more reactive than the acid e.g. copper won't react with hydrogen chloride.
7 of 10
how do acids react with metal oxides and metal hydroxides?
acid + metal oxide/hydroxide -> salt + water. The name of the salt will depend on the metal and acid used?
8 of 10
How do you make soluable salts?
For metals or insoluable bases; add the metal to the acid and when the reaction is finished, filter it. For alkali; neutralise the acid then repeat using the sme amount of alkali and evaporate.

How do you make insoluable salts?
Mix two solutions caontaing the ions that you need and filter the solution. This is a precipitation reaction.
