Part 2

1) Describe how to make a neutral

solution.

2) Explain a SPECIFIC neutralisation

reaction using a word equation.
Learning
Objectives 3) Describe a neutralisation reaction
using a symbol word equation.

4) Give examples of neutralization

reactions from our daily life.
 Uses of neutralization

Insect stings contain acids or

alkalis
People use ‘old fashioned remedies’ on wasp
and bee stings.
 Apply
Bicarbonate of soda (pH9) Water (pH7) Black Coffee (pH5)
Lemon Juice (pH2)

1. You have been stung by a

2. This time, it was a wasp
bee! Which substance would
that stung you! What would
you use to neutralise the sting
you use now?
and stop it from hurting?

Wasp stings are

Bee stings are around pH3
around pH9 so are
so are acidic alkaline
People use ‘old fashioned remedies’ on wasp and bee stings.

Ant stings contain formic acid.

What type of substance would you
suggest putting on an ant sting and
why?
People use ‘old fashioned remedies’ on wasp and bee stings.

If you are stung by a box

jellyfish you should put
vinegar on it.

What does this tell you

about the box jellyfish
sting?

 Uses of neutralization

Chewing gum
manufacturers claim that
chewing gum after meals
helps reduce acid erosion of
teeth.

How?
 Uses of neutralization
Clues:
Tooth decay is caused by acid
erosion
Bacterial plaque produce the
acid
These bacteria live on food in
the mouth
Saliva neutralises the acid
produced by the bacteria

So how does chewing gum reduce gum

disease?
Do you still need
to brush your
teeth?
 Uses of neutralization
Acid rain makes the soil acidic and plants cant grow.
 Uses of neutralization
If soil is too acidic to grow certain crops, lime can be added.

Lime is an alkali called calcium oxide.

What effect does lime have on the pH of soil?
 Uses of neutralization
If our stomach makes too much acid, how do we feel?

Homework - Match up exercise
Solutions with a pH of less than 7 increases.

Universal indicator can be used to hydroxide ions.

Acids in solution contain soluble base.

When an acid is neutralized by an alkali, the decreases.

pH
Nitric acid produces are acids.

Acid plus base produces hydrogen ions.

Solutions with a pH of more than 7 sulphates.

An alkali is a are neutral.

Sulphuric acid produces salt plus water.

When an alkali is neutralized by an acid, the are alkalis.

pH
Solutions with a pH of 7 nitrates.

Alkalis in solution contain estimate the pH of a solution.
