Acids and Alkalis When an acid neutralises an alkali two chemicals are made: Salt Water Sulfuric acid + sodium hydroxide sodium sulfate + water Acid Alkali salt Nitric acid + potassium hydroxide potassium nitrate + water Acid Alkali salt
Salts The name of the salt comes from the name of the acid: Hydrochloric acid makes chloride salts Sulfuric acid makes sulfate salts Nitric acid makes nitrate salts.
Word Equations Acid + alkali salt + water Give an example Acid + carbonate salt + carbon dioxide + water Give an example Acid + metal salt + hydrogen Give an example
