What is the definition of alkali?	alkaliis a substance that dissolves in water and release hydroxide ions (OH-)
What is 1 general equations? (including oxide)	Metal oxide +acid = salt + water
what is 1 of the general equations (including metal carbonate)	Metal carbonate + acid = salt + carbon dioxide + water
What are the other two general equations?	Metal +acid = salt + hydrogen H+ OH- = H2O
What gas is produced when a metal reacts with any acid?	hydrogen gas
what test can we identify this gas?	squeaky pop
name three metals that will not react with diluted acids	copper, silve, gold
why is this?	because these metals are so nonreactive they dont react with diluted acids?
why do we use titrations?	we use titrations to accuratley measure how much acid or alkali we need to exactly neutralise the other
show a titration equation that obtains a neutral solution	Acid + Alkali = salt + water
what term is used to describe pH 7?	Neutral
