Quick student answer

How does neutralisation work?

Direct answer

In Chemistry, this page helps you answer questions about neutralisation within Reactions of acids. Focus on the key process, correct scientific terms, and how the idea links to exam-style questions. Key terms to check are neutralisation and alkali.

Key terms

  • neutralisation: The reaction between an acid and a base or alkali to produce salt and water. In Neutralisation of acids and salt production, this term helps explain describe neutralisation as the reaction between an acid and a base or alkali for AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462 Unit 4.4.
  • alkali: A base that dissolves in water, producing hydroxide ions (OH-). In Neutralisation of acids and salt production, this term helps explain describe neutralisation as the reaction between an acid and a base or alkali for AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462 Unit 4.4.

Common trap

Confusing Neutralisation: Remember that neutralisation is the reaction between an acid and a base or alkali, and be sure to include both types in your explanations.
