Q

What is a neutralisation reaction?

A

An acid (pH <7) reacts with a base/alkali (pH >7) to form water (pH = 7) and a salt

The reaction involves the proton of the acid and the hydroxide of the base.

Q

How does the reactivity of metals affect their reaction with acids?

A

The extent of reaction depends on the reactivity of the metal and the strength of the acid

Very reactive metals react vigorously, while less reactive metals may not react at all.

Q

What are the expected signs of a faster reaction between a strong acid and a metal?

A

More effervescence, faster metal dissolution, more exothermic

Strong acids react more vigorously than weak acids.
