Specification Point 2.34:
Know the common rules for prediction the solubility of ionic compounds in water: Common Sodium, Potassium and Ammonium Compounds are soluble, all Nitrates are soluble, Common Chlorides are soluble except those of Silver and Lead (II), Common Sulfates are soluble, except for those of Barium, Calcium and Lead (II), Common Carbonates are insoluble, except for those of Sodium, Potassium and Ammonium, Common Hydroxides are insoluble except for those of Sodium, Potassium and Calcium (Calcium Hydroxide is slightly soluble)

Example: Hydrochloric Acid What does Hydrochloric Acid look like when dissociated in aqueous form?HCl (aq) → H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)+++ Bases (Alkalis):What happens when Alkalis react?they will gain electrons to form negative hydroxide ions ( OH- ).What makes an aqueous solution alkali?OH- IonsExample: Sodium Hydroxide What does NaOH look like dissociated in aqueous form?NaOH (aq) → Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq)***Summary Acids and Bases (Alkalis) ---When atoms, or groups of atoms, lose or gain electrons, they form charged particles called ions. ---These ions can be either positively or negatively charged. *Acids: When acids react, they will lose electrons to form positive hydrogen ions (H+). These H+ Ions makes the aqueous solution acidic. Example: Hydrochloric Acid HCl (aq) → H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) *Bases (Alkalis): When Alkalis react, they will gain electrons to form negative hydroxide ions ( OH- ). These OH- Ions makes the aqueous solution an alkali. Example: Sodium Hydroxide NaOH (aq) → Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq)Specification Point 2.36: Understand that an Acid is a Proton Donor and a Base is a Proton Acceptor+++ Acids and Bases (Alkalis)*** Turn for pic The role of Acids and Bases in the transfer of ProtonsWhat are acids in terms of proton transfer?Acids are a proton donor as they will react to lose electrons to form positive H+ ionsWhat are bases/alkalis in terms of proton transfer?Bases (alkalis) are proton acceptors as they will react to gain electrons to form negative OH- ions*** Summary *Acids: Acids are a proton donor as they will react to lose electrons to form positive H+ ions These H+ ions makes the aqueous solution acidic *Bases (Alkalis): Bases (alkalis) are proton acceptors as they will react to gain electrons to form negative OH- ions These OH- ions makes the aqueous solution acidic+TOPIC+ Neutralisation: Acids, Bases, Metals, Carbonates & SaltsSpecification Point 2.37: Describe the reactions of Hydrochloric Acid, Sulfuric Acid and Nitric Acid with Metals, Bases and Metal Carbonates (Excluding the reactions between Nitric Acid and Metals) to form Salts+++ Reacting Acids with MetalsOnly metals above hydrogen in the reactivity series will react with dilute acids.
