Introduction

In this lesson: I can describe what happens during a neutralisation reaction and write word and symbol equations to represent different neutralisation reactions. Neutralisation reaction general equation is: base + acid → metal salt + water. Sodium hydroxide has the formula NaOH(aq) and hydrochloric acid has the formula HCl(aq).

Show transcript
Neutralisation reaction general equation is: base + acid → metal salt + water. Sodium hydroxide has the formula NaOH(aq) and hydrochloric acid has the formula HCl(aq). In a neutralisation reaction, the metal salt formed is named after the metal (from the base) and acid used. Common bases include metal oxides and hydroxides. (s), (l), (g) and (aq) in chemical equations identify the state of each substance as solid, liquid, gas or in solution.

    • sodium nitrogen
    • nitric hydroxide
    • nitrogen oxide
    • sodium nitride
  3. 3. Which of the following statements about bases and alkalis are correct?

    • Correct answer:An alkali is a base that is soluble in water.
    • Correct answer:A base is a substance that can react with acid and neutralise it.
    • A base is always insoluble.
    • An alkali has a pH of less than 7.
  1. 1. Sodium hydroxide is an alkali. When it reacts with hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride is formed. Which of the following words can be used to describe sodium chloride?

    • element
    • Correct answer:compound
    • mixture
    • base
    • Correct answer:metal salt
  2. 2. Which of the following is the correct meaning of the state symbol (aq) in a chemical equation?

    • It stands for 'aqua' which means water.
    • Correct answer:It stands for 'aqueous' which means a substance is dissolved in water.
    • It means the same as liquid (l).
  3. 3. Which of the following chemicals could be used to neutralise an acid?

    • Correct answer:copper oxide
    • Correct answer:sodium hydroxide
    • sodium chloride
    • phosphorus oxide
  4. 4. In a neutralisation reaction, the metal salt produced is named after the metal (base) and the acid used. What is the name and chemical formula of the metal salt formed when nitric acid is used?

    • Correct answer:metal nitrate (NO₃)
    • metal nitric (HNO₃)
    • metal nitrous (N₂O)
    • metal nitrogen (N₂)
  5. 5. Use the general equation base + acid → metal salt + water to select the correct chemical equation for the reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid.

    • NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(aq)
    • Correct answer:NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)
    • NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(s) + H₂O(l)
    • NaOH(aq) + HCl(l) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(aq)
