Reactions of acids Flashcards
the general equation for the reaction between an acid and a metal is
metal + acid = salt + hydrogen
the general equation for the reaction between an acid and a metal oxide is
metal oxide + acid = salt + water
the general equation for the reaction between an acid and an alkali is
metal hydroxide + acid = salt + water
the general equation for the reaction between an acid and a carbonate is
metal carbonate + acid = salt + water + carbon dioxide
the general equation for the reaction between an acid and a hydrogencarbonate is
metal hydrogencarbonate + acid = salt + water + carbon dioxide
the general equation for the reaction between an acid and an insoluble metal hydroxide is
metal hydroxide + acid = salt + water
