Topic 8.2: Properties of acids and bases

8.2.1 Outline the characteristic properties of acids and bases in aqueous solution

We will look here at some typical reactions of acids and bases in aqueous solutions where H+ is the ion common to all acids. The bases considered here are those that neutralize acids to produce water and these include metal oxides and hydroxides, ammonia, soluble carbonates and hydrogencarbonates.


Acids react with metal, bases and carbonates to form salts.

Acid + Metal -> Salt + Hydrogen


Acid + Base -> Salt + Water


Acid + Carbonate -> Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
