Household bases
Toothpaste

Lab bases
Sodium hydroxide
Sodium bicarbonate
What is an indicator
An indicator tells us whether a liquid is acidic or basic or neutral by means of colour change eg. Universal indicator paper/liquid
What is the PH scale
The PH scale tells how acidic or basic a substance is (0-14)
7= neutral
8-14= basic
0-6= acidic
What is neutralisation
Neutralisation is when an acid is added to a base until the solution is neutral (PH7
What is titration
Titration allows us to measure exactly how much acid is required
Hydrochloride acid+sodium hydroxide -> sodium cholide + water
HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O
Acids reacting with metals
Zinc + hydrochloric acid -> zinc chloride + hydrogen gas
Zn + HCh -> ZnCl + H2o
Hydrogen gas burns with a pop
