EQUATION FOR NEUTRALISATION

ACID + BASE      SALT + WATER
DEFINATION

WHAT IS NEUTRALISATION :


Neutralisation is a reaction between acid and
base to produce salt and water.
Answers:
• 2 HNO3 + Ca(OH)2    +




• H2SO4 + Ba(OH)2     +




• HCl + KOH           +
APPLICATIONS OF NEUTRALISATIONS
        • Insect Stings
          Bee stings are acidic and can be
          neutralised with baking soda (bicarbonate
          of soda). Wasp stings are alkaline and can
          be neutralised with vinegar.



        • Indigestion: Our stomach carries around
          hydrochloric acid. Too much of this leads
          to indigestion. To cure indigestion, you
          can neutralise the excess acid with baking
          soda or specialised indigestion tablets.
• Soil Treatment: When soils are too
  acidic (often as a result of acid rain)
  they can be treated with slaked
  lime, chalk or quicklime, all alkalis.
  Plants and crops grow best in neutral
  soils



 Factory Waste: Liquid waste from
 factories is often acidic. If it reaches a
 river it will destroy and kill sea life of
 many forms. Neutralising the waste
 with slaked lime can prevent this.
