process of salt?
reacting metal compound with acid
test for carbon dioxide?
limewater,if goes cloudy then carbondioxide is present
effects acid has on rocks
deteriate+weather rocks away making the edges rigged
neutralisation reaction
base+acid->metal salt+water
definition of neutralisation
chemical reaction where the acid+base react with an equal quantity of eachother
