How are soluble salts produced?
Keywords:
  • alkali: If a base does dissolve in water, it is called an alkali (1)
  • base: Bases are substances that react with acids and neutralise them. (1)
  • Carbonate: Group that contains carbon and oxygen (CO3) (1)
  • neutralisation: acid base --> salt water (1)

Acids are neutralised by alkalis (eg soluble metal hydroxides) and bases (eg insoluble metal hydroxides and metal oxides) to produce salts and water When an acid (such as hydrochloric acid) reacts with an alkali or a base (such as sodium hydroxide), what will the two products be?

Acids are neutralised by metal carbonates to produce salts, water and carbon dioxide. What products are made when an acid reacts with a metal carbonate?

The particular salt produced in any reaction between an acid and a base or alkali depends on: - the acid used (hydrochloric acid produces chlorides, nitric acid produces nitrates, sulfuric acid produces sulfates) - the positive ions in the base, alkali or carbonate. What factors affect the type of salt produced in a reaction between an acid and a base or alkali?

Students should be able to predict products from given reactants What two products would be made when zinc oxide reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid?

Students should complete a selection of equations to predict the names of products / names of reactants in neutralization reactions. Stretch - complete word equations Challenge - complete balanced symbol equations Super Challenge - complete balanced half equations
