Acid concentration
concentration concentration concentration
• Acid + Base → Salt + Water • pH = – log [H+] of OH– ion
of H+ ion of H+ ion of OH– ion
• Acid + Reactive metal → Salt + • pOH = – log [OH–] • High pH value
• Low pH value • High pH value • Low pH value
Hydrogen gas • pH + pOH = 14
• Acid + Metal carbonate → Salt +

Alkali ÷ Molar
Strong acid Weak acid Strong alkali Weak alkali
• Alkali + Acid → Salt + Water mass
• Alkali + Ammonium salt → Salt × Molar
+ Water + Ammonia gas mass
strong acid strength of alkali
• Alkali + Metal ion → Insoluble Molarity

Acid Acid, Base and Salt Alkali

reaction between acid and base

Uses in daily life
Not sodium salt, potassium Neutralisation
salt and ammonium salt • Observations on the physical
• Acid + Reactive metal Soluble salt produces properties of the salt
• Acid + Metal oxide • Effect of heat on the salt
• Acid + Metal carbonate preparation Salt qualitative • Cation and anion tests
Insoluble analysis • Confirmatory test for cation
salt is defined as
Sodium salt, potassium salt Quick
and ammonium salt
• Acid + Alkali Through the double Ionic compound that is formed when http://bit.ly/
