Study Notes
Neutralisation Reactions
- Neutralisation is the reaction between an acid and a base.
- Bases react with acids to produce a salt and water.
- Metal oxides and metal hydroxides are bases.
- Bases that dissolve in water are called alkalis.
- Insoluble bases are not alkalis.
- Example: Copper oxide is a base but not an alkali. Sodium hydroxide is both a base and an alkali (as it dissolves).
- Alkalis are soluble bases.
- Not all bases are soluble in water, therefore not all bases are alkalis.
- Zinc oxide is a base, but it's insoluble in water, so it's not an alkali.
Acid-Base Neutralisation
- Acids in solution release hydrogen ions (H+).
- Alkalis in solution release hydroxide ions (OH-).
- In a neutralisation reaction, hydrogen ions (from the acid) react with hydroxide ions (from the alkali) to form water (H₂O).
- The reaction is: H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l)
- Neutral solutions have a pH of 7.
- The change in pH during neutralisation can be measured using a pH probe or estimated using universal indicator.
