What are bases

They are chemicals which can neutralise acids and produce a salt and water

Bases which are soluble in water are also called alkalis.

What happens when acid reacts with base or alkali

We make a salt and water.

What are salts

Salts contain a positive ion which comes from the base or alkali.

Salts also contain a negative ion which comes from the acid.

Hydrochloric acid → Chlorides

Sulfuric acid → Sulfates

Nitric acid → nitrates.

Predict the products of the following reaction Sulfuric acid + Zinc oxide.

In the base zinc oxide, the positive ion is the metal zinc, and sulfuric acid produces sulfates. This means our products are zinc sulfate + water.

What are three examples of metal carbonates.

Sodium Carbonate

Calcium carbonate

Potassium carbonates

What happens when acid react with metal carbonate

They make salt, water and carbon dioxide.
