1. When an acid reacts with a base, a neutralisation reaction occurs, producing a
salt. Using the following equation, name the salts that are produced in the acid-base
reactions.

acid + base salt

a) hydrochloric acid + ammonia → ………………………

ammonium chloride

Sodium nitrate
b) nitric acid + sodium hydroxide → ………………………

c) phosphoric acid + potassium hydroxide →………………………

potassium phosphate

2. There are three other ways of making salts from acids. Complete the following
equations to illustrate them.

hydrogen gas
a) acid + metal → salt + ………………………

alkali
b) acid + ……………………… → salt + water

carbon di oxide
c) acid + carbonate → salt + ……………………… + water

3. Use the above information to complete the following reactions that form soluble salts

using acids.

a) iron oxide + sulfuric acid → ………………………

iron sulfate + water

magnesium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → magnesium chloride + H2O + CO2

b) ………………………

nitric acid
c) zinc + ……………………… → zinc nitrate + hydrogen
