Q

What happens when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water?

A

It makes an acidic solution

17
Q

Burning sulphur produces Sulphur Dioxide, what happens to this when it is dissolved into water?

A

It makes another acidic solution, this is also an example of acid rain

18
Q

What is a neutralisation reaction?

A

It is when an acid and an alkali react with one another with correct proportions and neutralise, this makes a solution with the pH of 7

19
Q

What is an example of neutralisation?

A

Hydrochloric acid is neutralised using sodium hydroxide

This makes sodium chloride (table salt) and water

20
Q

Uses of neutralisation…

A

-Indigestion (too much stomach acid), use indigestion
tablets
-Wasp sting (alkali), use something acidic like vinegar
-Bee sting (acidic), use something alkaline like sodium
bicarbonate
