Question

Which acid and base are used in formation of the following salts (a)CuSo4 (b)NaNO3?

Answer 1

Acid and a Base react to form Salt and water which is known as neutralization reaction.

ACID +BASE----> SALT + WATER

Formation of CUSO4:

H₂SO₄  +Cu(OH)₂---->CUSO₄ +2H₂O

Acid used --- Sulphuric acid H₂SO₄
Based used-- Copper hydroxide -Cu[OH]₂

Formation of NaNO3:

HNO3+NaOH --->NaNO₃+H₂O

Acid used = Nitric ACID -HNO3
Base used- Sodium Hydroxide - NaOH

Answer 2

H2SO4 +CU(OH) 2 ¬CUSO4+H20

HNO3+NaOH¬NaNO3+H20
