Acid Reactions & Salts

Science · Matter & Materials · conceptual

Describe and write word equations for the reactions of acids with metals, alkalis (neutralisation), and metal oxides/hydroxides, identifying the salt produced in each case

Sign in to track this

What mastery looks like

  • Writes word equations for: acid + metal → salt + hydrogen; acid + alkali → salt + water; acid + metal oxide → salt + water
  • Names the salt formed from a given acid and base (e.g. hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide → sodium chloride)
  • Describes the test for hydrogen gas (squeaky pop)
  • Explains what neutralisation means and gives a practical example (indigestion tablets, treating acidic soil)

Check your understanding

If Acid Reactions & Salts was asked how an indigestion tablet works to relieve stomach acid, could they explain what type of chemical reaction is happening and write a simple word equation for it?
