Neutralisation of acids and salt production Flashcards
1
Q
What are the products of the neutralization of acids by alkalis?
A
Salts and water.
2
Q
What types of alkalis can neutralize acids, leading to the formation of salts and water?
A

3
Q
Besides alkalis, what else can neutralize acids to produce salts and water?
A
Bases such as insoluble metal hydroxides and metal oxides.
4
Q
What determines the particular salt produced in a reaction between an acid and a base or alkali?
A
The acid used and the positive ions in the base, alkali, or carbonate.
5
Q
What type of salt does hydrochloric acid produce in neutralization reactions?
A
