write a balanced chemical equation showing how you could prepare each of the following salts from an acid-base reaction
HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O
is one such reaction
To prepare each of the following salts from an acid-base reaction, you need to react the appropriate acid and base together. Here are the balanced chemical equations for each salt:
1. Sodium chloride (NaCl):
Acid: Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
Base: Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
Balanced equation: HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O
2. Calcium sulfate (CaSO4):
Acid: Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
Base: Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2)
Balanced equation: H2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 -> CaSO4 + 2H2O
3. Copper(II) nitrate (Cu(NO3)2):
Acid: Nitric acid (HNO3)
Base: Copper(II) hydroxide (Cu(OH)2)
Balanced equation: 2HNO3 + Cu(OH)2 -> Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O
4. Potassium carbonate (K2CO3):
Acid: Carbonic acid (H2CO3)
Base: Potassium hydroxide (KOH)
Balanced equation: H2CO3 + 2KOH -> K2CO3 + 2H2O
5. Iron(III) chloride (FeCl3):
Acid: Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
Base: Iron(III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3)
Balanced equation: 3HCl + Fe(OH)3 -> FeCl3 + 3H2O
