How to test for acidity of substances?
The strength of an acid is a measure of how much an acid compound ionise.
What determine an acid?
Acids are formed when a compound dissolve in water and ionise to add hydrogen ions into the solution. All acids have hydrogen.
How is something a strong acid and weak acid?
Strong acids fully ionise in solutions to release all the hyrdogen ions.
While Weak acids do not fully ionise.
What is concentration?
Concentration is the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent/space.
Mass/volume
Metal + Acid
Salt + hydrogen
Metal oxide + Acid

Salt + water + carbon dioxide
How to name the salt
- Write the Metal ion name
- Write the non-metal ion name ending with ide or ate- if extra oxygen or non-metal is needed.
