Neutralisation

Title: Neutralisation
What do you think happens when an

acid and an alkali are mixed?
?
Stretch: People put
vinegar on wasp stings.
Write an idea in Looking at our title and
what we were learning
your book! last lesson, suggest
why!?
The chemical reaction between an acid and an alkali is
called neutralisation.
Acid Alkali A salt Water
You need to pH 7
remember this!!
I’ll be testing you!!
LO: To describe a neutralisation reaction
Level 4
To describe how to make a neutral solution
Level 5
To describe a neutralisation reaction using a
simple word equation
Level 6
To explain a SPECIFIC neutralisation reaction
using a word equation
Make a mega fact mind-map on neutral
7 Minutes solutions 
What What colour is a
number is Do you remember
the word neutral solution
neutral on with universal
the pH scale? equation?
indicator?
Stretch: Make these

words into a
What is neutralisation?

Water How do you Can you give an
Sodium Hydroxide achieve a example of where
Sodium chloride neutral neutralisation is used
Hydrochloric acid solution? in everyday life.

What number is Do you already What colour is a
neutral on the pH know a word neutral solution
scale? equation? with universal
pH7 Acid + Alkali  indicator?
Salt + Water GREEN
Stretch:
Hydrochloric acid + What is neutralisation?
Sodium hydroxide 
Sodium Chloride + water
Give an example of where
neutralisation is used in everyday
How do you achieve a life.
neutral solution? -Fertilizer
By adding an acid and -Bee and wasp stings
an alkali together -Antacid tablets
PUT GOGGLES ON
Equipment 1. Add a couple of drops of
Person 1 universal indicator to the NaOH
1. 10cm3 (Alkali) in the test tube
measuring cylinder 2. Put 10cm3 of hydrochloric acid into
2. Test tube rack the measuring cylinder.
with test tubes of
3. Use the pipette and carefully DROP
alkali BY DROP add the acid to the
Person 2 alkali.
3. Pipette
4. Swirl the test tube as you do this
4. Small beaker of
HCl 5. STOP when the solution goes green
5. Goggles 6. Record how much acid it took to
neutralise the alkali in your table.
I am looking for THE BEST 7. Do this again TWO more times to
neutral solution!! get an average.
WHO CAN GET THE BEST
GREEN?
Level 6 Hard Stuff!!
How do we know how to write word equations
for SPECIFIC neutralisations?
The Alkali
The Acid! The first part of the salt’s name is the
The acid makes the same as the first part of the ALKALIS
last name of the salt! name.
Hydrochloric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide 

Sodium Chloride + Water
The salt!
First part is the same as the
alkali’s
Second part comes from the
acid!
NEWS FLASH!!
A LORRY CARRYING CONCENTRATED ACID HAS
OVERTURNED AND BLOCKED THE ROAD- ACID
IS EVERYWHERE!
Write a news report for The Metro on this story!!!
You must include:
Level 4
- How could the fire service neutralise the acid
- How could the Fire Service use a way to show the
strength of the acid?
Level 5-
Explain how neutralising the acid works with an equation!
EXTRAS:
Why was the acid spill so dangerous?
What hazard symbol might be on the lorry?
Stretch: Hard word equations!

Come and get a sheet and have a go for the scientific edition of the newspaper!
HAZARD SYMBOLS

CAUTION
ENVIRONMENT
Switch metro articles with the person
next to you!!
What level did they reach?
Did they include?
Level 4
- How could the fire service neutralise the acid
- How could the Fire Service use indicators to show
the strength of the acid?
Level 5-
Explain how neutralising the acid works with an
equation!
EXTRAS: (Level 5+)
Why was the acid spill so dangerous?
What hazard symbol might be on the lorry?
LO: Describe a neutralisation reaction

Can you think of a keyword from
today’s lesson?
Write it on your post-it but
DON’T LET ANYONE SEE
Now stick it on the head of the person to your
left.
Now ask people on your table to describe the
word to see if you can guess it!
