REACTING ACIDS WITH METALS
s
Only Metals above Hydrogen in the reactivity series will react with Dilute Acids to form a Salt and Hydrogen Gas:
Acid + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen
|
Examples of Reaction Between Acids and Metals:
ACID

REACTING ACIDS WITH BASES (ALKALIS)
s
Acids will react with Bases - all Metal Oxides and Metal Hydroxides, in a neutralisation reaction to produce a Salt and Water:
Acid + Base → Salt + Water

oh bruh i cannot be bothered to learn all those :(
ReplyDeleteeveryone, in the reaction between sulfuric acid and bases, there is an H missing so it should be :
ReplyDeletexOH + H2SO4 = xSO4 + H2O
no offence to your blog, which I've found very useful, but there is a much easier to understand version on this website https://www.tutormyself.com/edexcel-igcse-2017chem-237/
ReplyDeleteThanks so much that's really helpful. I think I'll use both... haha
