Which Salts are mostly not soluble?
Carbonates and Hydroxides
Which Carbonates are soluble?
Sodium, Potassium and Ammonium
Which Hydroxides are soluble?
Sodium, Potassium and Ammonium
Which metals react with acids?
Those above hydrogen in reactivity series
What happens when an acid reacts with a metal?
Metal + acid → salt + hydrogen
What happens when an acid reacts with a base?
acid + base → salt + water
What happens when an acid reacts with a metal carbonate?
metal carbonate + base → salt + carbon dioxide + water
What is a base?
a substance that can neutralise an acid forming a salt and water
What are bases usually of metals?
oxides, hydroxides and carbonates
What happens when ammonia reacts with water?
produces hydroxide ions
In the preparation of soluble salts, why is insoluble reactant added in excess?
Ensure that all of the acid has reacted
