Reacting metal carbonates with acid Flashcards
Metal carbonate + acid=
Salt, water and carbon dioxide
What type of compound is always made when a metal, metal oxide, metal carbonate or metal hydroxide reacts with acids
A salt
What is neutralisation
When an acid and a base react together to form salts and water
What is a base
Proton exceptor and donator
What is a common feature of our reactions when an acid is neutralised by a base
Always form salts and water
What are bases that dissolve in water called
Alkalis
What happens to the pH of an acid during neutralisation
Increases towards seven
What happens to the pH of an alkali during neutralisation
Decreases towards seven
Explain why using an insoluble metal carbonate is the easiest way to exactly neutralise an acid
You can see when it is finished, they would be fitting, no heat needed
Explain why using a soluble metal carbonate and a acid would not be a suitable method to make a solution of a metal salt
It can dissolve your liquid or substance
Name four different every day examples of neutralisation
Treating be stings, wasp stings, tooth decay, and in shampoo
