10 examples of acid with metal carbonate
Answers
Answer:
When an acid reacts with a metal carbonate a salt, carbon dioxide and water are formed. Look at the following examples: Nitric acid reacts with sodium carbonate to form sodium nitrate, carbon dioxide and water. Sulfuric acid reacts with calcium carbonate to form calcium sulfate, carbon dioxide and water.
Hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium chloride (a salt) and water. Sodium chloride is made up of Na+ cations from the base (NaOH) and Cl− anions from the acid (HCl).
HCl (aq)+NaOH (aq)→H2O (l)+NaCl (aq)
Hydrogen bromide reacts with potassium hydroxide to form potassium bromide (a salt) and water. Potassium bromide is made up of K+ cations from the base (KOH) and Br− anions from the acid (HBr).
HBr (aq)+KOH (aq)→H2O (l)+KBr (aq)
Hydrochloric acid reacts with ammonia to form ammonium chloride (a salt). Ammonium chloride is made up of NH+4 cations from the base (NH3) and Cl− anions from the acid (HCl).
