The name of a salt is in two parts:

  • The first part of the name comes from the metal in the metal oxide, hydroxide or carbonate.
  • The second part of the name comes from the acid used to make it. The names of salts made from hydrochloric acid end in chloride, while the names of salts made from sulphuric acid end in sulphate.

An acid is a substance that produces what in a solution?

Salts are made when an acid reacts with a base, carbonate or metal. The name of the salt formed depends on the metal in the base and the acid used. For example, salts made using hydrochloric acid are called chlorides


Is an metal acidic or alkaline?

Pure metals are neither, no pure element is and acid or an alkali, it is only compounds made from elements that have this property. When metals form compounds those compounds are typically alkaline.


Why is the same gas always made when metals react with acids?

Hydrogen gas is always produced when acids react with metals because the acids contain hydrogen atoms that combine together and are released as hydrogen gas when a salt is made between the metal and the rest of the acid. Examples: Zn(s)+2HCl->H2(g)+ZnCl2 H2SO4+Mg(s)->H2(g)+MgSO4


How are the salts made?

Salts are the products of a neutralization reaction between a metal (or ammonium) hydroxide and an acid.


What are most salts made from?

Salts contain a cation (metal or ammonium) and an anion derived from an acid.

How many different salts could be made from a supply of dilute sulfuric acid dilute hydrochloric acid copper magnesium oxide and zinc carbonate?

From a supply of dilute sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl), along with copper (Cu), magnesium oxide (MgO), and zinc carbonate (ZnCO₃), several different salts could be formed. Sulfuric acid can react with zinc carbonate to produce zinc sulfate (ZnSO₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), while hydrochloric acid can react with magnesium oxide to produce magnesium chloride (MgCl₂). Additionally, hydrochloric acid can react with zinc carbonate to yield zinc chloride (ZnCl₂) and carbon dioxide. However, copper does not readily react with these acids to form a salt under normal conditions, limiting the number of salts produced to three: ZnSO₄, MgCl₂, and ZnCl₂.

How are ammonia salts made?

Ammonia salts are typically made by reacting ammonia gas with an acid, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. This reaction forms ammonium salts, such as ammonium chloride or ammonium sulfate, which can then be isolated and purified for use in various applications.


How are science salts made?

Science salts, also known as chemical salts, are typically made through a process called neutralization. This involves the reaction of an acid with a base to form a salt and water. The specific method and compounds used will depend on the desired chemical salt.


All salts are formed from an acid and base?

Salts are formed from the reaction between an acid and a base, where the hydrogen ions from the acid are replaced by metal or ammonium ions. The resulting product is a salt and water. This chemical process is known as neutralization.
