Metal hydroxides OH- water + salt

Metal oxides O2- water + salt

Metal carbonates CO33- water + salt + CO2

Naming salts
● First part comes from the first name of the alkali
● Last part comes from the acid
○ E.g sodium hydroxide + nitric acid -> sodium nitrate
● When the base is a metal instead of an alkali, hydrogen is also produced

There are four ways of producing salt:
a) acid + alkali -> salt + water
b) acid + metal -> salt + hydrogen
c) acid + metal oxide -> salt + water
d) acid + metal carbonate -> salt + water + carbon
