Acid + Metal Hydroxide → Metal Salt + Water

Key Stage 3

Meaning

Acid + Metal Hydroxide → Metal Salt + Water is the general equation for a neutralisation reaction between a Metal Hydroxide and an acid.

About 'Acid + Metal Hydroxide' Reactions

Acid + Metal Hydroxide reactions are exothermic so the there will be a temperature rise.

The reaction between a Metal Hydroxide and an acid produces water

The reaction between a Metal Hydroxide and an acid produces a Metal Salt.

Meaning

Acid + Metal Hydroxide → Metal Salt + Water is the general equation for a neutralisation reaction between a Metal Hydroxide and an acid.

About 'Acid + Metal Hydroxide' Reactions

Acid + Metal Hydroxide reactions are exothermic so the there will be a temperature rise.

When Acid + Metal Hydroxide reactions occur the H⁺ ions bond with the OH^- ions to produce water.
