Lesson: Neutralization
Acids + Bases → Salt + Water
Introduction to Neutralization
• - Neutralization = reaction of acid + base
• - General result → salt + water
• - Everyday importance: medicine, agriculture,
cleaning
Acid + Base → Salt + Water
• - Word equation: Acid + Base → Salt + Water
• - Example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
• - Strong vs. weak acids/bases affect reaction
strength and completeness
Neutralization in Daily Life
• - Medicine: antacids relieve stomach acidity
• - Agriculture: lime neutralizes acidic soils
• - Environment: treating acidic wastewater
before disposal
Titration as Neutralization
• - Titration = technique to find unknown
concentration
• - Equivalence point: acid and base fully
neutralize
• - Indicators: phenolphthalein, methyl orange
• - Example: NaOH titrated with HCl
Salts from Neutralization
• - Salt type depends on acid and base used
• - Examples: NaCl, KNO₃, CaSO₄
• - Properties: solubility, hydrolysis possible
Buffer Solutions
• - Formed by partial neutralization of weak
acids/bases
• - Buffers resist sudden pH changes
• - Applications: blood pH regulation, industrial
processes
Summary & Takeaways
• - Neutralization: Acid + Base → Salt + Water
• - Essential in health, agriculture, industry
• - Titration and buffers are practical
applications
• - Central concept: balance and control of pH
