salts called nitrates.
what are alkalis?
soluble metal hydroxides ( eg sodium hydroxide)
what are bases?
insoluble metal hydroxides and metal oxides.
how are acids neutralised? (two ways)
1.alkalis and bases to produce a salt plus water.
2.by metal carbonates to produce a salt, water and carbon
dioxide.
When reacting an _______ base with an_____ to make a _______ salt, excess solid is used then ________ off after the reaction.
When reacting an insoluble base with an acid to make a soluble salt, excess solid is used then filtered off after the reaction.
what can be done to salt solutions?
crystallised to produce solid salts.
