Chemistry- Acids With Metal Oxides And Metal Hydroxides Flashcards
Acid + metal -)
Salt + water
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) forms
Chloride salts
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) forms
Sulfate salts
Nitric acid (HNO3) forms
Nitrate
Acid rain
Formed when carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide react with oxygen.
Oxides dissolve in rain water to form weak acids.
Acids are carbonic acid (H2CO3) and sulfurous acid (H2SO3).
Main source of carbon and sulfur in the atmosphere is the
Burning of wood and fossil fuels
Dangers of acid rain
Corrodes buildings, damages historical landmarks and statues, changes pH of the soul, and causes rivers and ground water to be more acidic.
Limestone (CaCO3) is used in
Agriculture to make soul less acidic
CaCO3 + H2SO3 ->
CaSO3 + H2O + CO2
Acid + metal hydroxide ->
Salt + water
