ACID WITH METAL: ONLINE IGCSE SCIENCE CLASS

Learn the concept from our online class. Understand how to form worded equations when an acid reacts with metal. Once you have understood how to write a worded equation, proceed with your understanding to write the equation in symbols. Make sure you have a good understanding about balancing the equation.

Chemical Reaction and its example (acid + metal). 

Hydrochloric Acid

1. Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid → Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen
2. Calcium + Hydrochloric acid → Calcium Chloride + Hydrogen
3. Sodium + Hydrochloric acid → Sodium Chloride + Hydrogen
4. Potassium +  Hydrochloric acid → Potassium Chloride + Hydrogen

 

Nitric Acid

1. Magnesium + Nitric acid → Magnesium Nitrate + Hydrogen
2. Calcium + Nitric acid → Calcium Nitrate + Hydrogen
3. Sodium + Nitric acid → Sodium Nitrate + Hydrogen
4. Potassium +  Nitric acid → Potassium Nitrate + Hydrogen

 

Sulphuric Acid

1. Magnesium + Sulphuric acid → Magnesium Sulphate + Hydrogen
2. Calcium + Sulphuric acid → Calcium Sulphate  + Hydrogen
3. Sodium + Sulphuric acid → Sodium Sulphate  + Hydrogen
4. Potassium +  Sulphuric acid → Potassium Sulphate  + Hydrogen
