Reactions of acids and metals general equation
metal + acid ⟶ salt + hydrogen (MASH) Not a neutralisation reaction since water is not formed.
What kind of salts does sulfuric acid produce?
Sulfate Salts
What kind of salts does hydrochloric acid produce?
Chloride Salts
What kind of salts does nitric acid produce?
Nitrate Salts
What element must metals be above in the reactivity series in order to react with an acid?
Hydrogen
Reaction of acids with bases general formula?
base + acid ⟶ water + salt (BAWS)
What compounds act as bases?
Metal oxides, metal hydroxides and metal carbonates act as bases
When an acid reacts with a base, what reaction occurs?
A neutralisation reaction occurs.
Reactions of Acids with Metal Carbonates general formula
carbonate + acid ⟶ water + carbon dioxide + salt (CAWCS) Neutralisation Reaction
Reactions of metal oxides with acid general formula
metal oxide + acid → salt + water
Reactions of metal hydroxides with acid general formula
metal hydroxide + acid → salt + water
Reactions of ammonia with acid general formula
ammonia + acid → ammonium salt
