Chapter 16.7: Reactions of Acids and Bases

Flashcards based on Chapter 16.7, detailing the reactions of acids and bases, including their products and balanced equations.

What do acids react with to produce hydrogen gas and a metal salt?

Acids react with metals to produce hydrogen gas and a metal salt.

What are the products of the reaction between an acid and a carbonate?

The products are carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt.

What happens in a neutralization reaction?

An acid reacts with a base to produce water and a salt.

What is the result of mixing acetic acid (vinegar) with sodium bicarbonate?

It produces carbon dioxide, water, and sodium acetate.

When hydrochloric acid reacts with barium hydroxide, what is formed?

Barium chloride and water are formed.

What does the reaction of an acid with a metal typically produce?

It typically produces hydrogen gas and a salt.

How do you balance a neutralization reaction?

By ensuring one H⁺ from the acid reacts with one OH⁻ from the base.

What occurs when you mix hydrochloric acid with sodium carbonate?

Carbon dioxide gas, water, and sodium chloride are produced.

What type of reaction is formed by an acid reacting with a base?

A neutralization reaction.
