neutralise acids, soluble in water, sources of hydroxide ions, proton acceptors
acid + metal
salt + hydrogen
acid + metal carbonate

moles formula
m = v x c
Which metals can’t be used in MASH
Very reactive metals
Salt
A compound formed when hydrogen is replaced by a metal or ammonium in an acid
Why don’t we use a universal indicator in a titration
It would cause a gradual colour change
Conc units
mol dm^-3
When the volume given is in cm^3
v X c /1000
