acids and alkalis and salts Flashcards
aq is
dissolved in water
in aq solutions acids produce
hydrogen ions (h+)
HCL (aq)—>
H+ + CL- (shows in aq acids produce h+ ions)
bases are usually ___ or ___?
metal oxides or metal hydroxides
soluble
able to be dissolved in water
bases are chemicals which
can neutralise acids producing a salt and water
bases which are soluble in water are also called alkalis
alkalis
bases soluble in water
in aq solution alkalis produce
Hydroxide ions (OH-)
eg
NaOH splits to become - Na+ + OH-
when we react acid and alkali, what do the ions produce? (the equation for neutralization)
the hydrogen ions react with the hydroxide ions to produce water
H+ + OH- –> H20
when we react an acid with either a base or alkali we make a ___ and ___
we make a salt and water
acid + metal =
salt + hydrogen
acid + metal oxide =
salt + water
acid + metal hydroxide =
salt + water
acid + metal base =
salt + water
acid + metal carbonate =
salt + water + carbon dioxide
