Question 1

What is a base

Answer 1

A base is any substance that reacts with an acid to form salt and water only

Question 2

Examples of a base

Answer 2

Question 7

How can a neutral solution be produced

Answer 7

A neutral solution can be produce did the correct amounts of acid and alkali react together

Question 8

How can the change in pH be measured

Answer 8

The change in pH during a neutralization reaction can be measured using a pH probe and meter, or estimated using universal indicator solution and a pH colour chart
