Define an acid
An acid is a substance when, in aqueous solution, is a source of H+ ions
Define an alkali
An alkali is a soluble base, in aqueous solution they are a source of OH- ions

Soluble
Solubility of all common chlorides
Soluble Except silver chloride which is insoluble
Solubility of all common sulfates
Soluble Except barium and calcium sulfates are insoluble
Solubility of all common carbonates

Preparation of soluble salts (3 methods)
Metal + acid –> salt + hydrogen Base + acid –> salt + water Carbonate + acid –> salt + water + carbon dioxide
What is a base
A base is a metal oxide or metal hydroxide
