  • Hydroxide Base
    A substance containing OH− ions that reacts with acids to form water and an ionic compound.
  • Neutral Amine
    A weak base composed of nitrogen and hydrogen, sometimes with carbon, that forms a salt when reacting with acids.
  • Salt
    An ionic compound produced when an acid reacts with a base, metal, or metal oxide.
  • Water
    A liquid formed when H+ from an acid combines with OH− from a base or with a metal oxide.
  • Ammonia
    A neutral amine with nitrogen and hydrogen, acting as a weak base in reactions with acids.
  • Methylamine
    A neutral amine containing carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen, serving as a weak base in acid reactions.
  • Hydrogen Gas
    A diatomic molecule released when acids react with metals, often observed as bubbles.
  • Metal Oxide
    A compound of a metal with oxygen that reacts with acids to yield water and a salt.
  • Ionic Compound
    A substance formed from the electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions, often called a salt.
  • Ammonium Nitrate
    An ionic compound formed when nitric acid reacts with ammonia, commonly used as a fertilizer.
  • Iron(II) Sulfate
    A salt produced when sulfuric acid reacts with iron, appearing in aqueous solution.
  • Iron(II) Chloride
    A salt formed when an acid reacts with iron(II) oxide, typically found in solution.
  • Pattern Recognition
    A skill used to identify the type of compound reacting with an acid to predict the resulting products.
  • Product
    A substance generated from an acid-base reaction, such as water, a salt, or hydrogen gas.
