Study Notes
Acid-Base Chemistry
- Acids react with active metals like zinc, magnesium, iron, and aluminum to form salts and liberate hydrogen gas.
- The general equation is: Active Metal + Dilute Acid → Salt + Hydrogen
Reaction of Acids with Metals
- Zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas: Ca + 2HCl → CaCl2 + H2
- Magnesium reacts with sulfuric acid to form magnesium sulfate and hydrogen gas: Mg + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + H2
Experiment 3.4: Reaction of Acid with a Metal
- Objective: To investigate the reaction of zinc metal with hydrochloric acid
- Materials: Test tube, narrow jet test tube, candle, cork, zinc metal, dilute HCl, lighter or match, steel wool, and stand and clamp
- Procedure:
- Set up the apparatus as shown in Figure 3.5
- Pour 5 mL of dilute HCl into a test tube
- Clean a piece of zinc with steel wool until it's shiny
- Observe the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid
Reaction of Acids with Carbonates and Hydrogen Carbonates
- Acids react with carbonates and hydrogen carbonates to form salts, water, and carbon dioxide gas
- Examples:
- 2HCl (aq) + CaCO3 (s) → CaCl2 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
- H2SO4 (aq) + Ca(HCO3)2 (aq) → CaSO4 (aq) + 2H2O (l) + 2CO2 (g)
Experiment 3.5: Reactions of Acids with Carbonates and Hydrogen Carbonates
- Objective: To investigate the reactions of carbonates and hydrogen carbonates with dilute hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid
- Materials: Dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute sulfuric acid, calcium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, test tubes, test tube rack, lime water, spatula, and rubber stopper
- Procedure:
- Add calcium carbonate powder or a lump of calcium carbonate into a test tube
- Add 5 mL of lime water into another test tube
- Add 5 mL of dilute hydrochloric acid into the test tube containing calcium carbonate
- Observe the reaction and record observations
