Question 3(f)
[Maximum number: 1]
This question is about acids, bases and alkalis.
Table 3.1 shows the pH values of some substances.
Table 3.1
Write the ionic equation which represents a neutralisation reaction between any acid and any alkali.
CAIE IGCSE Chemistry 7.1.8 Neutralisation reaction between an
Practise recognising acid-alkali neutralisation, writing its ionic equation and linking temperature rise to an exothermic reaction.
How this is tested
- write the ionic equation H+(aq) + OH-(aq) -> H2O(l) for acid-alkali neutralisation
- identify neutralisation from acid reacting with alkali to form salt and water
- link a temperature rise during acid-alkali mixing to an exothermic neutralisation
