Question

Chemical properties of an acid

Answer 1

• turns blue litmus red
• reacts with base to form salt and water
• reacts with metals to form salt and hydrogen gas
• reacts with metal carbonates and bicarbonate to form carbon dioxide and water

Answer 2

Hello Dost ☺

Answer :

Chemical properties of acids:

i) Acids react with active metals to give hydrogen gas.

Eg : Zn + H2SO4→ZnSO4 + H2

ii) Acids react with metal carbonate and metal hydrogen carbonate to give carbon dioxide.

Eg : NaHCO3 +HCl→NaCl + H2O + CO2

reaction.

iii) Acids react with bases to give salt and water. This reaction is called as neutralization

Eg : NaOH + HCl→ NaCl +H2O

iv) Acids react with metals oxides to give salt and water.

Eg : CuO + H2SO4→CuSO4 + H2O
