Activity 1
1. Using the penguin and pig chemical reaction explain how an exchange reaction
works.
2. Using the penguin and pig chemical reaction explain how it links with a
neutralization reaction.
[Link] the penguin and pig chemical reaction to explain your understanding of the
reaction between and acid and a metal hydroxide.
Use HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
Activity 2
The reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.
Word equation
Chemical equation
General equation acid + metal hydroxide → salt + water
Activity 3
Define neutralization
Activity 4
Equations for the reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid
The acid of our reaction was hydrochloric acid. Write its chemical formula.
What is the name and formula of the metal hydroxide we used?
Write what remains of the base after we have taken away the OH to make water.
Write what remains of the acid after we have taken away the H to make water. Remember
we need two H to make one H2O, but NaOH has already contributed one O and one H. Now
put the two fragments together. Place the metal from the base first and the non-metal from
the acid. One Na and one Cl makes...
Provide the chemical reaction equation for: Acid + metal hydroxide → salt + water
Is the reaction is balanced?
1. How many H atoms on the left and on the right? Are they balanced?
2. How many Cl atoms on the left and on the right? Are they balanced?
3. How many O atoms on the left and on the right? Are they balanced?
Use the chemical equation to write a word equation for the reaction:
