Study Notes
Neutralization
- Acids react with bases, producing salt and water, as shown by the reaction: HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O.
- This type of reaction is called a neutralization reaction.
- When mixing an acid with a base, the resulting environment can be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the amounts of acid and base mixed, as well as their concentrations.
- If the concentrations of the acid and base are equal, adding more acid leads to an acidic environment, and vice versa, adding more base leads to a basic environment.
- For the environment to be neutral, besides the acid and base, an indicator must be used, which changes color precisely when the solution becomes neutral after the reaction of with the base.
Preparing A Neutral Solution
- To achieve this, use a laboratory device called a burette.
- Fill the burette with 50 ml of 0.1 M acid.
- Place a certain amount of base, for example, 25 ml, in a conical flask.
- Open the burette tap to allow the acid to drip slowly.
- Mix the contents by swirling the conical flask several times.
- Basisc solutions are neutral solutions that have consumed 25 ml of acid, resulting in a pH of 7.
- Adding more drops of acid changes the color due to the environment becoming acidic.
Activity: How is the Rainbow Formed After the Rain?
- Pour some sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) into a test tube.
- Carefully add water up to 2/3 of the test tube's volume.
- Add a few drops of universal indicator in the form of a paper strip and place it from the bottom of the test tube up to its neck.
- Carefully add a bit of acid.
- Do not shake or mix the test tube contents.
- Leave the test tube in the test tube holder for a few days and note the changes.
How the Rainbow is Produced in a Test Tube?
- At the bottom of the test tube, sodium carbonate dissolves in water, and the universal indicator turns blue, making the environment strongly basic.
- After a while, Na2CO3 particles and the indicator spread, mixing with the water particles, making the solution light blue and basic.
- At the neck of the test tube, universal indicator particles meet acid particles, its color turns from blue to red, making the environment strongly acidic.
- In the middle of the test tube, acid particles that spread from top to bottom mix with the sodium carbonate particles spreading from bottom to top.
- This neutralizes each other, turning the universal indicator green.
Summary
- Acids and bases neutralize each other.
- A reaction between an acid and a base is called a neutralization reaction.
- To neutralize a certain amount of base, a certain amount of acid must be used.
- Bases and acids react in equal amounts, based on the ratios of molecules involved in the reaction.
