Neutralisation reactions

Naming salts:

Common acids reacted during neutralisation reaction are:

hydrochloric acid: -HCl salt name: ____________ chloride
Nitric acid: -HNO3 salt name: ____________ nitrate
Sulfuric acid: -H2SO4 salt name: ____________ sulfate


General equations:

metal + acid --> water + salt

calcium + hydrochloric acid --> water + calcium chloride

metal oxide + acid --> water + salt

magnesium oxide + sulfuric acid --> water + magnesium sulfate

metal hydroxide + acid --> water + salt

sodium hydroxide + nitric acid --> water + sodium nitrate

metal carbonate + acid --> water + salt + carbon dioxide gas

calcium carbonate + sulfuric acid --> water + calcium sulfate + carbon dioxide gas
