Solid and Liquid Comparison in Neutralisation

                Welcome back readers! Today you are going to read about an experiment. It is an experiment involving acid and bases for neutralisation.

Aim: Compare solid and liquid bases of neutralization
Hypothesis: Both bases will turn green cause they have the same amount of quantity.

Materials:

Hydrochloric Acid

Universal Indicator

Quick Eze(Solid)-Base

Gaviscon(Liquid)-Base

Beaker

Dropper

Test tube

Rack

Method:

Measure all the testers that will be used by 3 ml(bases, acid, and indicator). Then, pour the universal indicator in the two test tubes and afterward, the hydrochloric acid. Next, put the bases in a different test tube. Lastly, take a picture. Repeat.

Results:

1st try. The powder doesn’t completely neutralize the acid and is more light green in color than the liquid

2nd try. The liquid is still greener than the powder but this time the powder is greener than it is before.

Conclusion:

We saw that liquid base is likely more to neutralize the acid than the solid. It is because the liquid dissolves faster than the powder. In our second try of experimenting, the powder tends to be more green in color than in the first try which is because we waited for a little more time for to dissolves but the liquid is still more to neutralize that acid.

Discussion:

We think that we are successful in our experiment not because of we made the wrong hypothesis but we discovered what is the difference between the solid and liquid bases in neutralization.We conclude that difference between the two bases is because they are both dissimilar in form, they may be created from different sources and different chemicals are used to produce the products.

Definition and References:

The neutralization is the chemical reaction when you mix acid and a base together with the same quantity.

Acid means sour in Latin and contains hydrogen atoms that will release these atoms when dissolving in water.

Base the opposite of acid. It is bitter in taste. It removes hydrogen ions in water and it doesn't dissolve in water.

Alkali is a base but they are bases that dissolve in water.

Indigestion means when the acid from the stomach is too much and it flows into the esophagus. The stomach contains cell for it to protect its walls while the esophagus doesn’t that’s why we feel pain and discomfort when we have indigestion.

Antacid means 'anti-acid' and it is the other term for alkali. It is used to neutralize the acid when the acid in the stomach flows into the esophagus.
