describe: (a) the redox reaction with reactive metals to produce a salt and H\(_2\)(g) (b) the neutralisation reaction with alkalis to produce a salt and H\(_2\)O(l) (c) the acid–base reaction with carbonates to produce a salt and H\(_2\)O(l) and CO\(_2\)(g) (d) esterification with alcohols with concentrated H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) as catalyst (e) reduction by LiAlH\(_4\) to form a primary alcohol
interpret and use the general, structural, displayed and skeletal formulas of the classes of compound stated in the table on pages 29 and 30
describe and explain the reactions of halide ions with: (a) aqueous silver ions followed by aqueous ammonia (the formation and formula of the \([Ag(NH_3)_2]^+\) complex is not required) (b) concentrated sulfuric acid, to include balanced chemical equations
