Displacement reaction
A reaction in which a more reactive element takes the place of a less reactive element.
Ionic equation
An ionic equation is one that shows only those ions or atoms that change.
Ions or atoms that don’t change in a chemical reaction are called…
Spectator ions
Acids dissolved in water have a pH value of…
Less than 7, acids are proton H+ ion donors
Acid + metal —>
Salt + hydrogen
Hydrochloric acid
HCl -1
Sulfuric acid
H₂SO₄
Nitric acid
HNO₃ +1
Redox reaction
When both oxidation and reduction occur
How are soluble salts made?
By reacting acids with solid insoluble substances, such as metals, metal oxides, hydroxides or carbonates.
