11.3 The reaction of acids and bases Flashcards
what is the product of acid reacts with metal
it produces salt
typical reaction of metal with acid
acid +metal —> salt + hydrogen (gas)
exmaple:
Sulfuric acid + magnesium —> magnesium sulfate +hydrogen
acid react with base
acid + base —> salt + water
example: HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O
another: H2SO4 + CuO –> CuSO4 + H2O
acid with carbonate
Acid + carbonate —> salt+ water +carbon dioxide
example: CaCO3 + 2HCl –> CaCl2 +H2O +CO2,
reactions of bases
Bases react with ammonium produces salts the product is: salt + water +ammonia
example: Ca(OH)2 + 2NH4Cl —> CaCl2 +2H2O +2NH3
what is neutralization
neutralization is a reaction with acid that gives water as well as a salt.
is reaction of acid and metal neutralization
no because it doesn’t produce water and salt.
uses of neutralization
-reduce acidity in soil
how does soil become acidity
the type of rock it came and acidic rain
How to neutralize acidic soil
to add crushed limestone
what is limestone
calcium carbonate
what is the reaction of acidic soil with lime stone
calcium carbonate + acidic soil –> calcium hydroxide which is a neutralizatoin
what is redox reaction
a reaction of acids and metals.
why is it called redox
electrons are transferred through the reaction
example of a redox reaction
mg –> mg 2+ + 2e-
