Acid reactions

🌡️ Reactions of Acids

Acids are chemical compounds that show interesting behavior when reacting with other substances. Let's learn how acids react with bases, metals, non-metals, carbonates, and bicarbonates with examples and visuals.

1. Acid + Base → Salt + Water (Neutralization)

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O

2. Acid + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen Gas

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂↑

₂

3. Acid + Non-metal Oxide → No Reaction

CO₂ + HCl → ❌ No Reaction

4. Acid + Carbonate → Salt + Water + CO₂

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂↑

5. Acid + Bicarbonate → Salt + Water + CO₂

NaHCO₃ + HCl → NaCl + H₂O + CO₂↑
