Neutralisation
In a neutralisation reaction between an acid and an alkali, water is formed. This is shown in the word equation:
Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water
We can prove this using an experiment. I will investigate the effect of changing the concentration of alkali has on the volume of acid needed to neutralise it. I will use a titration method to investigate this.
In the experiment I am going to use Sodium Hydroxide and Hydrochloric Acid. Therefore my formula is:
