Recap - Answers
1. What 2 products are made when a metal reacts with an acid?
Salt and hydrogen
2. What 2 products are made when an acid reacts with an alkali?
Salt and water
3. Complete the word equations:
a) Sodium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid -> sodium chloride + water
b) Calcium hydroxide + sulphuric acid -> calcium sulphate + water
c) Aluminium + nitric acid -> aluminium nitrate + hydrogen
d) magnesium + sulphuric acid -> magnesium sulphate + hydrogen
 Metal carbonates
When an acid reacts with a metal carbonate, a salt, carbon dioxide and water are
made.

Metal carbonate + Acid → Salt + Carbon dioxide + Water

Example:

Calcium carbonate + Hydrochloric → Calcium + Carbon dioxide + Water
