REACTIONS OF DILUTE ACIDS

1. Some METALS to give SALT and HYDROGEN gas

Zn + 2HCL ZnCl2 + H2

2. Bases to give SALT and WATER only

2NaOH + H2SO4 Na2SO4 + H2O

3. Carbonates and hydrogencarbonates (insoluble or soluble) to give salt, water and CO2 gas

CaCO3 + 2HCl CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

EXAMPLES OF NEUTRAL SOLUTION

• Pure Water• NaCl solution• Most soluble salts• Ethanol solution(not ethanoic acid)

APPLICATION: PH IN SOIL

Soil

Most plants grow well almost neutral

Plants grow poorly in very highOr very low pH

Soil can become too acidic because:• Excessive use

of chemical fertilizers

• Acid rain from air pollution by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides

How to fix an acidic soil?

SALTSA salt is obtained from an acid when the H+ is replaced by metal ion or ammonium ion

HOW DO WE PREPARESALTS???

CASE 1: I WANT TO MAKE AN INSOLUBLE SALT, PBCL2 (SOLID)

Step 1: think where PbCl2 comes from:

Pb

Cl2

Pb2+

Cl-

An aqueous solution (soluble)Pb(NO3)3

An aqueous solution (soluble)NaCl

Step: 2 Precipitation reaction

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + NaCl(aq) NaNO3(aq) + PbCl2(s)Soluble SolubleSoluble Insoluble

THIS IS HOW YOU GET PBCL2

CASE 2: SOLUBLE SALTS

• 1. acid + excess metal/insoluble metal oxide/carbonate• 2. acid+ alkali

HOW TO PREPARE SALTS

START

Is the salt soluble?

NO

YES React acid with metal/alkali/metal oxide/metal carbonate

Product soluble?

YESNO

Mix acid with excess metal/ metal oxide/metal carbonate
