Acid/Base Reactions

• Acid + Reactive Metal ----> Salt + H2 (gas)
• Acid + Base ----> Salt + H2O
• Acid + Metal Oxide ----> Salt + H2O
• Acid + Metal Hydroxide ----> Salt + H2O
• Acid + Carbonate ----> Salt + CO2 + H2O
• Base + acid ----> Salt + H2O
• Base + Ammonium Salt ----> Salt + NH3 (ammonium gas) + H2O
• Salt:

  No charge

  
  

  Metal replaces H+ in the acid

  • HCL + Mg ----> MgCL2 + H2
