Neutralisation Reactions Flashcards
Metal oxide + acid =
Salt + Water
Metal hydroxide + acid =
Salt + water
Acid + Metal Carbonate =
Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide
1st step of a neutralisation reaction
First you heat up a dilute acid using a bunsen burner then you keep adding insoluble base
2nd step of a neutralisation reaction
When the base is no longer disappearing the base must be in excess and the acid would have been completely neutralised
3rd step of a neutralisation reaction
We filter out the insoluble base with filter paper and filter funnel
4th step of a neutralisation reaction
We evaporate off some water in our beaker and then leave it to cool causing crystals to form using filter paper then we dry the crystals somewhere warm
Why do we warm sulfuric acid when making crystals of magnesium sulfate?
To speed up the reaction
Why do we repeatedly add spatulas of magnesium oxide to a beaker and why do we stir the mixture when making crystals of magnesium sulfate?
So the Hydrochoric acid reacts
Why do we filter the mixture when making crystals of magnesium sulfate?
To remove excess magnesium oxide
