Making Salts
- acid + base --> neutralization
- Families of Salts
- four ways that you can neutralize (can be found on this page)
- every time a neutralization occurs a salt is formed (this salt is neutral)
- Families of Salts
- “the chlorides,” “the sulfates,” and “the nirtrates” are large groups of salt compounds
- the compound that is produced is dependent on the acids you use
Examples for the Making of Salts
- HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O
- hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide make sodium chloride (the salt) and water
- hydrochloric acid makes a chloride salt
- H2SO4 + KOH --> K2SO4 + H2O
- sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide makes potassium sulfate (the salt) and water
- sulfuric acid makes a sulfate salt
- HNO3 + LiOH --> LiNO3 + H2O
- nitric acid and lithium hydroxide makes lithium nitrate (the salt) and water
- nitric acid makes a nitrate salt
