Major stages in making chemicals A need for a chemical is identified. A “pilot plant” is set up to find out the requirements for production. Costs are considered and balanced with potential profit. A proper chemical plant is built costing millions of pounds but creating a lot of jobs.
What can we make from acids and alkalis ? Starter: sketch a pH scale and add on any information you know. Weak and strong acids Weak and strong alkalis Neutral Colour of universal indicator Numbers
recall the characteristic reactions of acids write word and symbol equations for the reactions of acids H: write balanced symbol equations for the reactions of acids
What do you know about acids?
Acid Types Organic Mineral Citric acid (solid) Tartaric acid (solid) Ethanoic acid (liquid, vinegar) Nitric acid Sulfuric acid Hydrochloric acid (hydrogen chloride gas dissolved in water)
Alkalis – what do you know ? Potassium hydroxide (KOH) Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) Calcium Hydroxide (CaOH)
