Reactions of acids
Neutralisation of:
hydrochloric acid gives a chloride
sulphuric acid gives a sulphate
nitric acid gives a nitrate
Acid + metal  salt + hydrogen
Acid + base*  salt + water
Acid + carbonate  salt + water + carbon dioxide
*Base:
A metal oxide or metal hydroxide.
An alkali is a water-soluble base.
Salts
A salt is an ionic compound which is neither an acid
(containing H+) or a base (containing O2- or OH-). A salt is
formed whenever an acid is neutralised.
Acids, containing H+

Uses of Salts
• Plant fertilisers (NPK)
– (NH4)2SO4, NH4NO3, KH2PO4, …….
• Food flavour and preservation
– NaCl, KCl, KNO3…….
• In toothpaste
– NaF
• Photographic film
– AgCl, AgBr
Salts are important also in:
• Proteins and enzymes
– The molecules that carry out the chemical
reactions of life
• DNA and RNA
– the molecules of inheritance
• Transmission of electrical impulses along
nerves
Acid Neutralisation reactions
Neutralisation of:
hydrochloric acid gives a chloride (containing Cl-)
sulphuric acid gives a sulphate (containing SO42-)
nitric acid gives a nitrate (containing NO3-)

Titration of acid against alkali for soluble salts of group 1 metals
and ammonium
5 cm3 sodium hydroxide solution was measured using a pipette
and transferred to the conical flask. 2 drops of methyl orange
indicator were added. Hydrochloric acid was poured into the
burette and the starting reading was recorded. The acid was
added to the sodium hydroxide, drop by drop, until the indicator
turned from yellow to orange (or red). Charcoal was added to
the mixture to absorb the indicator and was removed by filtration.
Water was evaporated from the filtrate, leaving sodium chloride
crystals.

Methods of salt making (2)
• Acid + excess insoluble solid
– For all other soluble salts
– Solid is either a moderately reactive metal, a base or a
carbonate
– Excess solid to react with all the acid
• Removed by filtration
Methods of salt making (3)
• Precipitation reactions
– To make insoluble salts
– 2 solutions each containing one of the ions in
the salt are mixed.
– Salt is precipitated
– Salt is filtered, residue is washed on filter paper
and dried.

• Direct combination of the elements
