NURUL ASHIKIN BT ABD RAHMAN

LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of this lesson, students should be able to:• Explain the meaning of neutralisation precisely.• Explain the application of neutralisation in daily life.• Write equations for neutralisation reactions• Describe acid-base titration.• Determine the end point of titration during

neutralisation.• Solve numerical problems involving neutralisation

reactions to calculate either concentration or volume of solutions.

NEUTRALISATION

Neutralisation is a reaction between acid and base to produce salt and water.

Acid Base Salt Water

Examples:HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) NaCl (aq)+ H2O (l)

H2SO4 (aq) + CuO (aq) CuSO4 (aq) + H2O (l)

HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)

H+Cl-(aq) + Na+OH- (aq) Na+Cl- (aq) + H2O (l)

Chemical Equation

Ionic Equation

H+(aq) + OH- (aq) H2O (l)

APPLICATION OF NEUTRALISATION

Soil treatment

Treat gastric

Treat wasp stings

Prevent coogulation latex

Baking powder

Manufacture detergent

ACID-BASE TITRATION

Titration

End point Is the point in the titration at which the indicatorchanges colour.

Quantitative analysis that involves the gradual addition of a chemical solution from a burette to another chemical solution of known quantity in a conical flask.

ACID-BASE TITRATION

Question 1:

25.0 cm3 of sulphuric acid is neutralised by 34.0 cm3 of 0.1 mol of dm-3 NaOH. Calculate the concentration of sulphuric acid in:

(a) mol dm -3

(b) g dm-3

[relative atomic mass; H:1, S:32, O:16]

2NaOH + H2SO4 Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Step 1 : write down chemical equation

Step 2 : find the number of mole NaOH

n=MV

Moles of NaOH= molarity X Volume (dm3)= 0.1 X 0.034= 0.0034 mol

Solution:

Method 1

Step 3 : from the chemical reaction, the ratio of

2 4 1

2

number of moles of H SO

number of moles of NaOH

Step 4 : find the number of moles of H2SO4 reacted

2 mole of NaOH = 1 mole of H2SO4

0.0034 mole of NaOH =

= 0.0017 mol

0.0034 1

2mol

Step 5 : find the concentration of H2SO4 in mol dm-3

Concentration = mol/volume= 0.0017/ 0.025= 0.068 mol dm-3

Step 6 : find the concentration of H2SO4 in g dm-3

Molar mass H2SO4 = 1(2) + 32+ 16(4)= 98 g mol-

Concentration = concentration in mol dm-3 x molar mass H2SO4

= 0.068 x 98 = 6.664 g dm-3

Method 2:

2NaOH + H2SO4 Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Step 1 : write down chemical equation

Step 2 : find the concentration of H2SO4 in mol dm-3

Ma = ? Va = 25 cm3

Mb = 0.1 mol dm-3 Vb = 34 cm3

(0.025) 1

(0.1) (0.034) 2aM

Ma = 0.068 mol dm-3

Step 3 : find the concentration of H2SO4 in g dm-3

Molar mass H2SO4 = 1(2) + 32+ 16(4)= 98 g mol-

Concentration = concentration in mol dm-3 x molar mass H2SO4

= 0.068 x 98 = 6.664 g dm-3

Question 2:

What volume of 0.20 mol dm-3 nitric acid is required to neutralise 0.14 g of potassium hydroxide? [relative atomic mass: O: 16, K:39, H:1]

Ans: 12.5 cm3/0.0125 dm3

Question 3:

15cm3 of an acid with the formula HaX of 0.1 mol dm-3 required 30 cm3 0f 0.15 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide solution to complete neutralisation. Calculate the value of a.

Ans: 3
