1. Making salts All Must: Be able to describe how to neutralise an acid
Most Must:
Write a word equation for neutralisation
Some Must:
Explain what salt is produced with hydrochloric acid

2. What is this and why is it used?
Key Words
Neutralisation
Salt
Copper sulphate
What is this and why is it used?

3. acid + alkali salt + water
Neutralisation
What happens when you add a acid to an alkali?
acid + alkali salt + water
Acids react with alkalis to produce two neutral products.

4. A neutralisation reaction is where an acid reacts with a base to produce a neutral solution of a salt and water.
sodium hydroxide
pH 14
neutralisation
sodium chloride
pH 7
hydrochloric acid
pH 1 1 2 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3
Increasingly acid
Increasingly alkali

5. Common Acids are: Name of acid Formula Sulphuric acid Hydrochloric
Nitric acid
Ethanoic (vinegar)
H2SO4
HCl
HNO3
CH3COOH

6. Common alkalis are: Name of alkali Formula Sodium Hydroxide
Potassium Oxide
Calcium Carbonates
Ammonium Hydroxide
NaOH KO
CaO3
NH4OH

7. Sulphuric acid Nitric acid Sulphates Nitrates Hydrochloric acid
Salts
Sulphuric acid
Nitric acid
Sulphates
Nitrates
Hydrochloric acid
Chlorides

8. All these are alkalis – that will neutralise an acid
Type of compound
Contain
React with acids to give
Metal Hydroxides
Metal Oxides
Metal Carbonates
OH-
water + a salt
O2-
water + a salt
CO32-
water + a salt + CO2

9. Naming salts
1 The first part of the name of the salt comes from the first name of the base (alkali)
So Ammonium hydroxide gives ammonium …………
Magnesium oxide gives magnesium …………...
2 The acid gives the last part of the name of the salt.
So Sulphuric acid make sulphates
Nitric acid makes nitrates
Hydrochloric acid makes chlorides
Eg. Sodium hydroxide + nitric acid forms:
Calcium carbonate + sulphuric acid forms:
Sodium nitrate
calcium sulphate

10. Practical with copper sulphate
What is the acid in our practical?
dilute sulphuric acid
What is the alkali in our practical?
Copper oxide
What is the name of the salt?
Copper sulphate

11. Practical making copper sulphate

12. Naming salts

13. Naming salts Hydrochloric acid + Sodium hydroxide  Sodium chloride
water
Lithium hydroxide
……………….. chloride
Potassium hydroxide

14. Naming salts Hydrochloric acid + potassium hydroxide 
……………….. ………………..
……………
Sulphuric acid
Lithium hydroxide
……………….. sulphate
