Chemistry 2- Salts and Electrolysis

For chemistry 2, unit 1- salts and electrolysis, for AQA.

?
The mixture made by adding a soluble substance to water.
Aqueous Solution
1 of 17
Its solution has a pH number of more than 7.
Alkali
2 of 17
The oxide, hydroxide or carbonate of a metal that will react with an acid, forming a salt as one of the products. They are proton acceptors.
Base
3 of 17
A sour substance which can attack metal, clothing or skin. The chemical opposite of an alkali. When dissolved in water its solution has a pH of less than 7. They are proton donors.
Acid
4 of 17
A solution with a pH value of 7 which is neither an acid or an alkaline. Alternatively, something that carries no overall electrical charge- neither positvely nor negatively charged.
Neutral
5 of 17
The abbreviations used in balanced symbol equations, to show if reactants or products are solid (s), liquid (l), gas (g) or dissolved in water (aq).
State Symbol
6 of 17
A number which shows how strongly acidic or alkaline a solution is.
pH scale
7 of 17
A mixture of indicators that can change through a range of colours depending on the pH of a solution. Its colour is matched to a pH number using the pH scale.
Universal Indicator
8 of 17
A salt is a compound formed when some or all of the hydrogen in an acid is replaced by a metal (or by an ammonium ion).
Salts
9 of 17
The chemical reaction of an acid with a base in which they cancel each other out, forming a salt and water. If the base is a carbonate or hydrogen carbonate, carbon dioxide is also produced in the reaction.
Neutralisation
10 of 17
An insoluble solid formed by a reaction taking place in a solution.
Precipitate
11 of 17
A liquid, containing free-moving ions, that is broken down by electricity in the process of electrolysis.
Electrolyte
12 of 17
Unreactive
Inert
13 of 17
The reaction where oxygen is added to a substance (or when electrons are lost).
Oxidation
14 of 17
An equation that describes reduction or oxidation, such as the reactions that take place at the electrodes during eletrolysis.
Half Equations
15 of 17
A solution of sodium chloride in water.
Brine
16 of 17
The process of depositing a thin layer of metal on an object during electolysis.
Electroplating
17 of 17
