What does the name of a salt depend on?
The metal used
The acid used
The positive ion in the base, alkali or carbonate used
When magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid, two products are hydrogen and magnesium. What is the equation?
Mg + 2HCl –> MgCl₂ + H₂
Mg+2HCl₂ +H₂
What is this called?
A redox reaction because it has both reduction and oxidation
Fe - 2e⁻ –> ???
Fe²⁺
What is a base?
An insoluble metal hydroxide (magnesium hydroxide) and a metal oxide (copper oxide)
What is insoluble?
Something that doesn’t dissolve in water
What is an alkali?
A soluble metal hydroxide (sodium hydroxide)
What is an example of a metal carbonate?
Copper carbonate
What is potassium hydroxide?
An alkali
What is zinc hydroxide (insoluble)
A base
What is magnesium oxide?
A base
What is calcium oxide?
A base
How do u remember making salts?
MASH
BASH
AASH
MCASHC
What does MASH stand for?
Metal + acid –> salt + Hydrogen
What does BASH stand for?
Base + acid –> salt + Water
What does AASH stand for?
Alkali + acid –> salt + water
What does MCASHC stand for?
Metal carbonate + acid –> salt + water + carbon dioxide
Hydrochloric acid +magnesium oxide = ???
Magnesium chloride
Sulfuric acid + copper hydroxide =
Copper sulphate
Nitric acid + potassium oxide =
Potassium nitrate
A student wanted to make potassium nitrate. Why would it not be sensible for her to do this?
Because potassium is very reactive and may explode when in contact with nitric acid
A student wanted to make copper sulphate. Why would it not be sensible for her to react copper with sulfuric acid?
It will not react as the copper will not displace the hydrogen because it is less reactive
If a gas was produced what might you see?
Fizzing
What happens when a metal reacts?
It gets smaller
