Neutralisation Reactions

1. An alkali is a ________________________________________________________________________

Acid + base = salt + water

EXAMPLE: Hydrochloric acid + sodiumhydroxideSodiumchloride + water

2. Why is this called a neutralization reaction?

_________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________

3a. Hydrochloric acid + magnesium hydroxide magnesiumchloride + ___________

3b. Hydrochloric acid + potassium hydroxide ___________ chloride + _________________

3c. Hydrochloric acid + calcium hydroxide ____________ ____________ + _______________

3d.Hydrochloric acid + _______________________Copperchloride + water

4. Label the reactants and the products:

Nitric acid + sodium hydroxide sodium nitrate + water

5a. Hydrochloric acid produces a salt called a c_______ide

5b. Sulphuric acid produces a salt calledas______ate

5c. Nitric acid produces a salt calledan_____ate

Using the reactants you can work out the products

6. Sulphuric acid + sodiumhydroxide __________ sulphate + ________________

7. Nitric acid + calcium hydroxide calcium __________ + _______________________

8. Nitric acid + calcium hydroxide  __________ nitrate + _______________________

8. Sulphuric acid + calcium hydroxide  __________ __________+ _______________________
