Question

Write a balanced equation for the acid-base reaction that leads to the production of each of the following salts. Name the acid, base, and salt.

Short answer

When base calcium hydroxide on reacts with an acid hydrofluoric acid, it forms salt known as calcium fluoride. The reaction is as below.

$\mathrm{Ca}\left({\mathrm{OH}}_2\right)+2\mathrm{HF}\to {\mathrm{CaF}}_2+2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$

When base rubidium hydroxide reacts with an acid sulfuric acid, it forms a salt known as rubidium sulfate. The reaction is as below.

$2\mathrm{RbOH}+{\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\to {\mathrm{Rb}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4+2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$

Step-by-step solution

Calcium fluoride and rubidium sulfate.

When base calcium hydroxide on reacts with an acid hydrofluoric acid, it forms salt known as calcium fluoride. The reaction is as below.

$\mathrm{Ca}\left({\mathrm{OH}}_2\right)+2\mathrm{HF}\to {\mathrm{CaF}}_2+2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$

When base rubidium hydroxide reacts with an acid sulfuric acid, it forms a salt known as rubidium sulfate. The reaction is as below.

$2\mathrm{RbOH}+{\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\to {\mathrm{Rb}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4+2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$

Zink nitrate and potassium acetate.

When base zink hydroxide reacts with an acid, nitric acid, it forms a salt known as zink nitrate. The reaction is as below.

$\mathrm{Zn}\left({\mathrm{OH}}_2\right)+2{\mathrm{HNO}}_3\to \mathrm{Zn}{\left({\mathrm{NO}}_3\right)}_2+2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$

When base potassium hydroxide reacts with an acid, acetic acid, it forms a salt known as potassium acetate. The reaction is as below.

$\mathrm{KOH}+{\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COOH}\to {\mathrm{KCH}}_3\mathrm{COO}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$
