    Acids, Bases and Salts - Episode 3

    This is the third episode of the series on Acids, Bases and Salts. In this episode, we discuss the properties of acids and bases. Properties of Acids Physical Properties:  Sour in taste. Highly corrosive.  Chemical Properties:Acid (Dil.) + Active Metals* 2HCl (Dil.) + Mg = MgCl2 + H2 2Al + 6HCl = 2AlCl3 + 3H2 Salt + H2 (*Active Metals – MAZFE – Magnesium, Aluminium, Zinc, Iron)  o Metallic (Bi)Carbonates + Acid (Dil.) Metallic Salt + CO2 + H2O *  Na2CO3 + HCl (Dil.) NaCl + H2O + CO2 *  NaHCO3 + HCl (Dil.) NaCl + H2O + CO2 o Metallic (Bi)Sulphites + Acid (Dil.) Metallic Salt + SO2 + H2O * Na2SO3 + HCl (Dil.) NaCl + H2O + SO2 * NaHSO3 + HCl (Dil.) NaCl + H2O + SO2 o Metallic Sulphides + Acid (Dil.) Metallic Salt + H2S (Rotten Egg Smell) o FeS + HCl FeCl2 + H2S (Rotten Egg Smell) Properties of Bases Neutralization: Acid + Base = Salt + Water  HCl+NaOH = NaCl+H2Oo Ammonium Salts + Alkali = Salt + Ammonia + Water  NH4Cl + NaOH = NaCl + NH3 + H2O Reaction of alkalis with metal salt solutions: * CuSO4 + 2NaOH = Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4 Pale blue ppt * ZnSO4 +2NaOH = Zn(OH)2 + Na2SO4 Gelatinous white ppt * Zn(OH)2 + 2NaOH = Na2ZnO2 + 2H2O * Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaOH = Pb(OH)2 + 2NaNO3 Chalky white ppt * Pb(OH)2 + 2NaOH = Na2PbO2 + 2H2O * FeSO4 + 2NaOH = Fe(OH)2 + Na2SO4 Dirty green ppt * FeCl3 + 3NaOH = Fe(OH)3 + 3NaCl Reddish brown ppt This is a public episode.
