Neutralisation reactions and a wide variety of salts are widely used in everyday domestic life, industry and agriculture. In this topic you will explore neutralisation and explain the fundamental process underlying the reactions of acids.
After working through this topic you will be able to:
- explain how the reactions of acids result in the formation of specific salts;
- consider any misconceptions students may have about reactions of acids and neutralisation;
- know how these misconceptions and difficulties can be addressed or avoided; and
- use effective practical activities to help students understand this topic.
