38
Q

neutralization (product is neutral)

A

the reaction between an acid + base produces water (H2O) and an ionic compound
(hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide = sodium chloride + water)

39
Q

neutralization with (bi)carbonate as base

A

the reaction produces an ionic compound, water AND carbon dioxide
(hydrochloric acid + sodium bicarbonate = sodium chloride + water + carbon dioxide)

40
Q

Law of conservation

A

Mass of reactants is always equal to mass of products
