Neutralization Reactions

Neutralization Reactions

Neutralization Reactions

• Occur when an acid and a base react to form
  products that have a pH closer to 7 than either
  of the reactants
• These products are usually an ionic compound
  (sometimes called a salt) and water

3
Predicting the Products

• Example Neutralization of hydrochloric acid with
  sodium hydroxide
• HCl (aq) NaOH (aq) ? H2O (l) NaCl (aq)
• Follow the same general pattern of double
  displacement reaction
• AB CD ? AD CB

4
General Chemical Equation

• acid base ? water ionic compound

5
Applications of Neutralization Reactions

• Cleaning up chemical spills
• Antacids

6
Neutralization Practice

• Write the chemical equations for each of these
  acid base reactions
• 1. hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide
• 2. sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide
