5.4: Other ways of making salts

1. magnesium carbonate + nitric acid → magnesium nitrate + water + carbon dioxide

2. MgCO3 + H2SO4 -> MgSO4 + H2O + CO2

3. By bubbling the gas through lime water, which will go cloudy if the gas is
carbon dioxide.

4. You could add an indicator such as a universal indicator solution. If the test
solution is an acid, the universal indicator solution will turn yellow or red. If
the solution is an alkali, the universal indicator solution will turn blue or
purple.

5. A neutral solution

6. Credit properties, such as soapy feel, turns litmus blue, turns universal
indicator solution blue or purple, and has a pH greater than 7.

7. A base is a metal oxide. If a metal oxide dissolves in water, it makes an

alkaline solution.

8. magnesium oxide + sulfuric acid -> magnesium sulfate + water

9. MgO + H2SO4 -> MgSO4 + H2O

10. Iron oxide + hydrochloric acid form iron chloride
