Page 1
An acid and alkali will neutralise each other and produce a salt and water. This is called a neutralisation reaction.
The name of the salt produced can be worked out from the names of the acid and the alkali.
Chemical equations can be written to describe a neutralisation reaction.
Acid + base -> salt + water
A neutral solution is made if you add just the right amount of acid and base together.
3 acids most commonly used in chemistry include Nitric acid, Hydrochloric acid, and sulphuric acid.
The alkalis reacting are usually metal hydroxides
Salts's scientific name is sodium chloride
A salt made from hydrochloric acid will end in chloride
A salt made from nitric acid will end in nitrate
A salt made from sulfuric acid will end in sulfate
