Neutralisation

Start with acids and bases

Neutralisation is one section of Acids, Bases and Salts in Chemistry. The resources on this page connect the properties of acids and bases with the reactions between them. They include notes, mind maps, flashcards and quizzes made by GoConqr users.

For an introduction, start with the note “Acids, Alkalis and Bases”. It describes acidic solutions and how they affect indicators. Then look at the note “Intro, Neutralization, Salts”, which compares properties of acids and bases, including their effects on litmus paper.

Follow the reaction

The mind map “Neutralization” describes a reaction between an acid and a base that forms salt and water. It also shows how hydrogen and hydroxide ions form water molecules when acidic and alkaline solutions are mixed. Another map, “Neutralising Acids”, describes a base as a compound that can neutralize an acid and discusses neutral solutions.

Use the map alongside the flashcard deck “Acids, Bases and Neutralisation”. Its prompts cover acids, bases, alkalis and neutralising an acid with a base. The deck “Acids and Alkalis” adds questions about making an insoluble salt and reactions involving acids and metals.

Check and connect your understanding

After studying a map and working through flashcards, try “Acids and Bases Quiz”. Use the quiz as a check on the terms and ideas you have studied, then return to the notes or maps for anything you want to look at again.

Within Acids, Bases and Salts, the page brings together resources on acid and base properties, neutralisation and salts. Moving between a broad introduction and a reaction-focused map can help you see how the listed resources relate to each other.
