Acids and Metals Quiz

Acid-Metal Reaction

• The chemical equation representing the reaction between an acid and a metal is: Acid + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen
• This reaction is an example of a single displacement reaction, where the metal displaces the hydrogen ions in the acid.

Acid-Base Neutralization Reaction

• The chemical equation representing the neutralization reaction between an acid and a hydroxide/oxide base is: Acid + Base → Salt + Water
• This reaction is an example of a neutralization reaction, where the acid and base react to form a salt and water.

Reaction between HCl(aq) and NaOH(aq)

• The product of the reaction between HCl(aq) and NaOH(aq) is: NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Reaction between Acid and Carbonate

• The product of the reaction between an acid and a carbonate is: Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide, e.g. HCl(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
