Nitrate
Definition of neutralisation
The reaction between an acid and an alkali producing a salt and water
Soil treatment
Plants grow best in pH7
Lime added to change pH
Indigestion
Hydrochloric acid in our stomach
Too much acid
Base/alkali to neutralise (indigestion tablet)
Bee sting
Acid
Neutralise with baking soda
Wasp sting
Alkaline
Neutralise with acid (vinegar)
Acid + metal
Salt + hydrogen
Acid + Alkali
Salt + water
Acid + base
Salt + water
Acid + metal carbonate
Salt + water + carbon dioxide
What is an oxide (to do with equations)
A base or alkali
Indicator
A chemical dye that changes colour when reacting with an acid, alkali or neutral solutions
Eg litmus paper
pH between 1 - 6
Acidic
pH of 7
Neutral
pH 8 - 14
Alkaline
How indigestion is caused
Hydrochloric acid is used to help digestion and kill bacteria
Too much acid causes indigestion when stomach acid rises to the oesophagus
Indigestion remedies neutralise the extra acid
Base
Substance that reacts with an acid by giving salt and water
Alkali
Soluble base
Salt
Compound formed when some/all of hydrogen ions in an acid are replaced by metal ions or ammonium ions
