Typical reactions with acids Flashcards
What is acid + metal equal to ?
is it a redox reaction ?
salt + hydrogen
No, only reduction takes place.
Do acids react with all metals?
No, only metals above hydrogen in the reactivity series
What are neutralization reactions ?
Are they redox reactions?
Acid + metal oxide = salt + water
Acid + metal hydroxide = salt + water
No they are not redox reactions
What are Alkalis?
What reaction takes place when acids react with alkalis?
Are they redox reactions?
Alkalis are soluble bases
It is similar to neutralization reactions.
Acid + Alkali = Salt +water
An increase in temperature is noticeable.
No they are not redox reactions as there is only reduction but no oxidation.
What reaction takes place when acids react with metal Carbonates?
What type of reaction is it?
Are they redox reactions?
Metal Carbonates + Acid = Salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water
Neutralization reaction
No they are not redox reactions as there is only reduction but no oxidation.
What reaction takes place when acids react with Hydrogen Carbonates?
Acid + Hydrogen Carbonates = Salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water
