NEUTRALIS

ATION
→ WATER + SALT
SE YOUNG LEE

ACID + BASE

DESCRIPTION
A reaction that occurs when an acid and a base react with each
other, the products include water and a salt.

To neutralise means to stop something from having an effect.

To stop a base from having an effect, an acid can be added.
Acid: the corrosive substances
that react with solid substances
Base: can be dissolved in water are called alkalis

SIGNIFICANCE
1. By indigestion or the strings from wasps,bees
and ants, Neutralization can relieve pain.
2. They can be used to change the PH of soil to
make it more suitable for growing particular
plant.
3. Neutralisation reactions are also used in
cooking and to keep swimming pools and spas
clean.

HISTORY
In the first of two co authored articles on
the subject, “Techniques of
Neutralization: A Theory of Delinquency”
(1957), Matza and Sykes proposed a “drift
theory” And nowaday a neutralization
reaction is used in the antacid tablet
manufacturing process. And very
important in our daily life.

FUTURE POSSIBILITIES
Technology for manufacturing
neutralisers to remove harmful pollutants

It is a drug that neutralizes acidic and basic chemicals by

spraying them in the event of a chemical leakage accident.
It can be sprayed from a long distance and its neutralization heat
is lower than 60 degrees, so it is more safe than conventional
powder-type neutralizers.
STRENGTH VERSUS
CONCENTRATION
We have seen that acids and bases can be strong or weak.
A strong acid or base can react to their full extent in water.

Weak acids and bases only partially separate in water, and so they cannot
react to their full extent.

The concentration of an acid or base is different to its strength.

Concentration is how much of the actual active substance is in the solution;
this determines the extent of reaction.

A concentrated acid or base will have a large number of active particles

in a given volume.
A dilute acid or base will have a small number of active particles in a
given volume.

THE TITRATION CURVE FOR

NEUTRALISATION REACTION
Acid-Base Neutralisation Reactions and Titrations.

A titration curve is a plot of pH vs. the volume of titrant

added.

The shape and position of the curve can be used not just
to determine the equivalence point, but also to determine
whether the acid is strong or weak.
