1)

acid + metal -> salt + hydrogen

acid + metal oxide -> salt + water
acid + metal hydroxide -> salt + water
acid + metal carbonate -> salt + CO2 + water

2)
 place some sulfuric acid in a conical flask and warm it in a water bath
 add a spatula of copper oxide powder to the acid and stir with a glass
rod
 continue adding copper oxide powder until it is in excess
 filter the mixture to remove the excess copper oxide
 pour the filtrate (the copper sulfate solution) into an evaporating basin
 heat the copper sulfate solution to evaporate half of the water
 pour the solution into a watch glass and leave to allow all of the water to
evapora

3)
Bases which are soluble in water heart known as alkali. The others (bases)
are the ones which are insoluble in water

4)
To make a soluble salt from an acid and an insoluble reactant:
 Add powdered insoluble reactant to acid in a beaker, one spatula at a
time, stirring to mix. Continue adding powder until it is in excess (some
unreacted powder is left over). All the acid has now reacted.
 Filter the mixture in the beaker to remove the excess solid. The filtrate
now contains only the salt and water.
 Heat the solution in an evaporating dish over a water bath. Stop heating
when small crystals start to appear around the edge of the evaporating
basin. The solution is now saturated.
 Leave the saturated solution at room temperature for a day or two. This
gives time for large crystals to form.
 If necessary, dry the crystals by dabbing gently with filter paper.
