Students will explore what happens during neutralization by using a base to neutralize an acid, and an acid to neutralize a base. Make sure you and your students wear properly fitting safety goggles.

A new study provides fresh insight into traditional acid-base chemistry by revealing that the mutual neutralization of isolated hydronium (H 3 O⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) ions is driven by ...

Neutralisation is the reaction of an acid with a base that results in the pH moving towards 7. It is a useful process that occurs in everyday life such as in the treatment of acid indigestion and ...

An acid-base indicator is a substance that changes color as the pH of the solution changes. Indicators work because they are weak acids which when in solution, exist in equilibrium with their ...

Neutralisation is an exothermic reaction – one in which heat is given out. The maximum temperature is reached when the acid solution is completely neutralised by the alkali.

If you add a base to an acid, it will help neutralize it. If you add an acid to a base, the same thing happens. “Neutralization” moves acidic or basic materials toward the middle of the scale.
