Hydrogen gas produced by
alkali metals combined with H, will produce H2 as one product
Hydrogen sulfide is always a
gas
sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas produced by
H2SO3 (sulfurous acid) -> SO2(g) + H2O(l)
carbon dioxide (CO2) gas produced by
H2CO3 (carbonic acid) -> CO2(g) + H2O(l)
ammonia gas (NH3) produced by
NH4OH (ammonium hydroxide) -> NH3(g) + H2O(l)
water produced by
metal oxide (base) neutralizing an acid, or non-metal oxide (acid) neutralizing a base
All compounds of alkali metals in group 1A and NH4 are
Soluble
