Acids, bases, salts and neutralisation

By the end you’ll be able to

• Describe the reactions of acids with metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides and metal carbonates, predicting and naming the salts formed
• Required practical: prepare a pure, dry sample of a soluble salt from an insoluble oxide or carbonate using excess solid, filtration, evaporation and crystallisation
• Describe the pH scale and indicators, and write the ionic equation for neutralisation (H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O)
