  • Why might antacids sometimes make people feel bloated?
    Because carbon dioxide gas is released when carbonates react with stomach acid.
  • What should we observe when there is Hydrogen gas present?
    A lit splint should make a squeaky pop sound when it enters the test tube
  • Why must students wear goggles when handling dilute hydrochloric acid in class?
    Because it is an irritant (mildly corrosive) that can harm the eyes if splashed.
  • Why do we use a glowing splint and not a lit splint when testing for oxygen?
    We can't see the splint re-light if it is already lit
  • In a neutralisation reaction, which are usually the two products made?
    salt and water
  • Which gas are we testing for here?
    Oxygen
  • Which gas are we testing for when we check if a glowing splint re-lights?
    Oxygen
  • What evidence do we see when there is Carbon Dioxide present?
    Water turns milky white/cloudy
  • What pH do you expect when you mix the right amount of Magnesium Carbonate (alkaline) with Hydrochloric Acid?
    pH 7
  • Universal indicator turns which colour in a strong acid?
    red
  • Why might a farmer add lime (calcium carbonate) to soil?
    To neutralise acidic soil and bring the pH closer to neutral for better crop growth.
  • Which gas is this test for?
    Carbon Dioxide
  • Which gases can we test for using pH paper?
    Ammonia and Chlorine
