Write balanced chemical equations only for the following chemical properties of acids.
1.when acid reacts with a metal
2.when acid reacts with a base
Dear Student,
Please find below the solution for your asked question-
1) When acid reacts with a metal-
When sulphuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with zinc metal, zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) and hydrogen gas (H2) are formed.
The chemical reaction is as follows:
H2SO4 + Zn → ZnSO4 + H2
2) When acid reacts with a base-
The reaction of an acid and a base is called neutralization. In this reaction, the acidity of acid is neutralized by an alkali. At the same time, the alkalinity of the alkali is neutralized by the acid. Salt and water are the only products of neutralization.
The chemical reaction is as follows:
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
Regards
