Reactions of Acids: Metals and Oxides | GCSE Chemistry

Acids react with metals and metal oxides to produce various salts.

What are the products when an acid reacts with a metal oxide?

What is Reactions of Acids: Metals and Oxides | GCSE Chemistry?

"Chemical reactions between acids and bases (metals/oxides/hydroxides) to form salts."

Question 1

Which of these metals is the MOST reactive?

Question 2

Zinc is extracted from its ore by heating with carbon. This is because...

Question 3

Which of these metals will NOT react with dilute acid?

Question 4

In electrolysis, where do the positive ions (cations) move to?

Salt Formation

Acid + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen (MASH).

Acid + Metal oxide → Salt + Water.

Acid + Metal hydroxide → Salt + Water.

Displacement: The metal replaces the hydrogen in the acid.

Exam Tip

Naming Rule: Hydrochloric acid makes chlorides; Sulfuric acid makes sulfates; Nitric acid makes nitrates.
