J.J. Thomson hypothesized and discovered that the atom was not the smallest unit of matter but that instead there were much smaller units. He discovered "sub-atomic particles" which make up atoms. The sub-atomic particle that Thomson discovered was the electron. He discovered this through a process of experiments testing cathode rays.

What salt is produced in each of the following neutralization reactions?

Pavlova-9 [17]

1. Salt is KNO₃

This is a strong acid - strong base reaction. HNO₃ is the strong acid and KOH is the strong base. 

H⁺ in the HNO₃ and OH⁻ of the KOH pair up and make H₂O(l). 

NO₃⁻ and K⁺ pair up to make KNO₃ salt. 

When writing chemical formulas positive ion comes first and second is negative ion. The charges should be switched. Since positive ion has +1 and negative ion has -1 after the switching off charges the product should be KNO₃.

Balance equation is 
HNO₃(aq) + KOH(aq) → H₂O(l) + KNO₃(aq)

2. Salt is Ca(NO₃)₂

This is a strong acid - strong base reaction. HNO₃ is the strong acid and Ca(OH)₂ is the strong base. 

H⁺ in the HNO₃ and OH⁻ of the Ca(OH)₂ pair up and make H₂O(l). 

Ca²⁺ and NO₃⁻ pair up to make Ca(NO₃)₂ salt. 

Positive ion is Ca²⁺ which has +2 charge and negative ion is NO₃⁻ which has -1 charge. From switching the charges Ca²⁺ gets 1 while NO₃⁻ gets 2. Hence, the salt should be Ca(NO₃)₂.

Balanced equation is
2HNO₃(aq) + Ca(OH)₂(aq) → 2H₂O(l) + Ca(NO₃)₂(aq)

3. Salt is CaCl₂

This is a strong acid - strong base reaction. HCl is the strong acid and Ca(OH)₂ is the strong base. 

H⁺ in the HCl and OH⁻ of the Ca(OH)₂ pair up and make H₂O(l). 

Ca²⁺ and Cl⁻ pair up to make CaCl₂ salt. 

Positive ion is Ca²⁺ which has +2 charge and negative ion is Cl⁻ which has -1 charge. By switching the charges Ca²⁺ gets 1 while NO₃⁻ gets 2. Hence, the salt should be CaCl₂.

Balance equation is
2HCl(aq) + Ca(OH)₂(aq) → 2H₂O(l) + CaCl₂(aq)

4. Salt is KCl

This is a strong acid - strong base reaction. HCl is the strong acid and KOH is the strong base. 

H⁺ in the HCl and OH⁻ of the KOH pair up and make H₂O(l). 

K⁺ and Cl⁻ pair up to make KCl salt. 

Positive ion is K⁺ which has +1 charge and negative ion is Cl⁻ which has -1 charge. By switching the charges K⁺ gets 1 and Cl⁻ also gets 1. Hence, the salt should be KCl.

Balance equation is
HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → H₂O(l) + KCl(aq)
