How can we make salts

from acids and alkalis?

Lesson objective: I will be able to

explain the process of making salts
and write word and symbol equations.

Key words: copper sulphate, salt,

base, acid, alkali
 Starter
• Retrieval practice quiz.
• Click on the link I have posted on Teams.
• Answer all 10 questions.
• This is an independent task so you
cannot work with a partner.
 Acid alkali grid
• Complete the grid on the next slide.
• This summarises what you have
learnt so far.
 Examples: The ions present in: Alkalis and bases:
Acid: Acids are…..H + ions and Similarities: Differences:
Alkali: Cl   ions
–

Base: Alkalis are… Na + ions and

OH – ions
Neutralization: Definitions:
(explain what neutralization is. Include: an equation, what happens Acid: a substance with chemical properties including turning
to the ions, what happens to pH) litmus red, neutralizing alkalis, and dissolving some metals;
typically, a corrosive or sour-tasting liquid of this kind.
Alkali: In chemistry, an alkali is a basic, ionic salt of an alkali metal
or an alkaline earth metal. An alkali can also be defined as a base that
dissolves in water. A solution of a soluble base has a pH greater than
7.0.

A substance with a pH Base: definitions agree that bases are substances which
of: react with acids as originally proposed by G.-F. Rouelle 
<7 is a….. Alkaline
=7 is a….. Neutral The rule for naming salts... nitric acid always
The pH scale >7 is a……… Acid produces salts that end in nitrate and contain
is… pH is a scale used to
specify the acidity or basicity of the nitrate ion, NO. hydrochloric acid always
an aqueous solution. Acidic
solutions are measured to have produces salts that end in chloride and
lower pH values than basic or
alkaline solutions. contain the chloride ion, Cl.

Naming salts: e.g’s…. (including a balanced symbol Reactions of acids:

equation for each e.g.) Making salts:
Acid + Metal = Salt
Acid Salt formed
Magnesium + Hydrochloric = Mg + 2HCl => MgCl2 +
H2
acid Hydrochloric Acid + Metal = Salt and water
acid Oxide
Calcium + Sulphuric = caco3 + h2so4 → caso4 Nitric acid
+ h2o + co2 Acid + Metal = Carbon Dioxide
Carbonate acid Sulphuric acid Carbonate
Sodium + Nitric
