This document describes several chemical reactions involving the addition of hydrochloric acid (HCl) to various salts. It provides the chemical equations for the reactions of HCl with sodium chloride (NaCl), calcium chloride (CaCl2), potassium nitrate (KNO3), and copper(II) nitrate [Cu(NO3)2]. The reactions produce the corresponding hydrogen chloride salts and nitric acid as products. The document also discusses the use of these acid-base reactions to observe the movement of cations (Na+, Ca2+, K+, Cu2+) between the ground state and aqueous state using indicator solutions.
