Lesson Starter Explain what happens to the colour and pH of an acid if alkali is added Describing neutralisation reactions Everyday neutralisations
Learning Intention To learn about neutralising acids by carrying out an ACCURATE neutralisation reaction.
Recap
Experiment Pour acid into a beaker and use syringe to measure 10 mls of acid- add to boiling tube Add a couple of drops of universal indicator to the boiling tube Pour alkali into beaker and use second syringe to measure 10 mls SLOWLY add 1 ml of alkali to boiling tube and swirl- note colour of solution Repeat until colour of solution in boiling tube is green Apparatus Goggles Boiling tube Test tube rack Acid Alkali Two 10 ml syringes Universal indicator 2 x 100ml beakers

All acids and alkalis are harmful
The more concentrated an acid is, the closer to 0 it will appear on the pH scale
Corrosive alkalis are close to 7 on the pH scale
Lemon juice, coke and vinegar are all examples of household acids
Brushing our teeth is an example of a neutralisation reaction
During neutralisation, the pH of a solution always gets higher
