Nat 5 - Neutralisation Reactions

Front

What is a neutralisation reaction?

Back

A reaction in which a base reacts with an acid to form water and a salt.

Front

What are the products of a metal oxide and an acid reaction?

Back

A salt and water.

Front

What are the products of a metal hydroxide and an acid reaction?

Back

A salt and water.

Front

What are the products of a metal carbonate and an acid reaction?

Back

A salt, water, and carbon dioxide.

Front

How does the name of the salt produced in a neutralisation reaction depend on the reactants?

Back

The name of the salt depends on the acid and base used. Hydrochloric acid produces chlorides, sulfuric acid produces sulfates, and nitric acid produces nitrates.

Front

What are spectator ions?

Back

Ions that remain unchanged by the reaction.

Front

How can reaction equations be used in the context of spectator ions?

Back

They can be used to identify spectator ions.

Front

What is the purpose of an acid-base titration?

Back

To determine the concentration of the acid or base by accurately measuring the volumes used in the neutralisation reaction.

Front

What role does an indicator play in a titration?

Back

It shows the end-point of the reaction.

Front

How can the concentration of one reactant be calculated in a titration?

Back

Given the concentration of the other reactant and the volumes of both solutions.
