below
Is an alkali above or below 7 on the pH scale?
above
True or false? All metals have the same level of reactivity?
False
metal+acid
hydrogen+salt
acid+base
salt +water

When does a precipitation reaction occur?
when a soluble reactant combines to form an insoluble product (precipitate)
What does it mean if a solution has gone cloudy?
precipitate has formed
What is an ionic compound?
made of lattice of positive and negative ions
How do you predict precipitate reactions?
1) swap ions to get products
2) check solubility chart
3) make prediction
