Neutralisation reactions

• what is the ionic equation for a neutralisation reaction?


  H+ + OH- -> H2O
• what is the general word equation for the reaction between an acid and a metal oxide?


  acid+metal oxide -> salt+water
• what is the general word equation for the reaction between an acid and a metal hydroxide?


  acid+metal hydroxide -> salt+water
• what is the general word equation for the reaction between an acid and a metal carbonate?


  acid + metal carbonate -> salt + water + carbon dioxide
• what is the general word equation for the reaction between an acid and a metal?


  Acid + Metal -> Salt + Hydrogen
• what are the steps for obtaining a solution of a soluble salt that we want?


  1. Place dilute acid in a beaker and gently heat it
  2. Add the solid base bit by bit until it stops reacting, which means its in excess
  3. Isolate the salt solution by filtering out the excess solid base using filter paper and a funnel
• What are the steps for isolating the soluble salt crystals from the solution?


  1. Heat the salt solution gently in a       water bath until crystals start to form.
  2. Let the solution cool further, which will cause more crystals to precipitate
  3. Filter out the soluble salt crystals  using filter paper and a funnel
