Acids, Bases and Salts Flashcards
what is an acid?
a substance containing hydrogen that can be replaced by a metal to for a salt
What is an acid salt?
A salt that is formed when the H+ ions in an acid are only partially replaced by metal or ammonium ions
An acid salt id formed when only some of the H+ ions in an acid are replaced a metal ion or ____________

What is the Basicity of an acid?
The number of protons produced per molecule of acid when dissolved in water
what are the main chemical reactions of acids in aqueous solution?
acids react with reactive metals to form a salt and hydrogen
acids react with bases to form salt and water
acids react with metal carbonates and hydrogencarbonates to form a salt, water and CO2
Acids except ________ react with metals above hydrogen in the reactivity series to produce salt and hydrogen
