Acid Reactions Flashcards
What is formed when acids react with metals
hydrogen and a salt are always formed
What is a redox reaction
Redox reactions involve a reduction reaction (one reactant gains electrons) and an oxidation reaction (one reactant loses electrons)
How can acids be neutralized
Acids can be neutralised by reacting with bases
What are some examples of bases
Metal carbonates, metal oxides and metal hydroxides
What happens when acids react with metal oxides
Salt and water are formed
What happens when acids react with metal carbonates
Salt, Water and Carbon Dioxide are formed
What happens when acids react with metal hydroxide
Salt and water are formed
What are soluble salts
Salts that dissolve in water
How can we make soluble salt
through a reaction between acids and solid, insoluble substances such as pure metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides, or metal carbonates.
What happens when an alkali and acid react
Salt + Water are formed
