The main hazard here is that a pupil could deliberately or accidentally squirt one of the solutions from a dropper. If this is likely to be an issue then replace the dropper with a glass tube (dip the tube in the solution, finger over the end, transfer to tile and remove finger). Do NOT use finely drawn out glass tubes fitted with large teats. Activity procedure 1 Demonstrate test procedure. Emphasise one OR two drops ± more than this causes dilution effects and likely overflow into other dimples causing contamination. 2 Set up the room while class prepare results tables. 3 Small groups (individuals if you have enough tiles) go to each station to test the solution there, record their results then move on.

Sample results Activity procedure 1 Students measure out an excess of acid and 20 ml of alkali. Watch for contamination ± there is a separate measuring cylinder and dropper for each solution. 2 Put the indicator in the alkali (so it goes blue ± easy to check as you go round) and add acid with a dropper in quantities of 0.5 cm3 to 1 cm3 until the mixture is neutral or beyond. At this point students should measure the remaining acid and subtract from the original volume to find out how much has been used. Running the activity If the HCl and NaOH are the same concentration, the same amount (20 cm3 ) of each should be required to give a neutral solution. If you change the acid to sulphuric, half the volume of the alkali would be needed. Answers 1 Less (less alkali to neutralise). 2 Not very. Inaccuracies may be present in measuring, end point, remeasuring or calculation, not to mention contamination! 3 Open, but there is no reason to expect that a different substance would behave in the same way or to the same degree. Demonstrate the procedure first. Have some strips of UI paper in your pocket for testing the contents of containers as you go round ± students love to add sodium hydroxide to itself in the hope that it will be neutralised . . . There is plenty of room to extend this activity, by repeating to improve technique at the end point (improves accuracy) and to check results (reliability of results). If you wish to do this with smaller or larger quantities, change the worksheet to suit.

The temperature effects can vary depending on the environment and how much (if any) insulation the beaker has, but will tend to lag behind the pH (if both are logged) due to the time taken for the heat to spread through the mixture. Answers Running the activity This activity can be used as small-group extension work or could be done as a demonstration to give wider access. The activity could be carried out with a pH probe and logger to get a graphical output of pH change against time or with a temperature probe to measure the energy change during neutralisation (HCl NaOH is exothermic). You might try temperature and pH at the same time if you are sure that the students can sort out the multiple lines on the graph. By default you will log against time, but if you can log against mass (with an electronic balance) then that would provide a measure of the amount of acid added. Clearly this is a procedure that needs trialling. These are derived from the students' graphs. A suitable answer to question 1 might be of the form ``the pH of the sodium hydroxide solution was 14 and that remained the same for x seconds and then rapidly changed during the next y seconds until it stopped changing at pH1 showing that there was an excess of hydrochloric acid.'' 6 q I Bradley, C Tear, M Winterbottom, S Young, 2001, The Heinemann Science Scheme Teacher and technician notes How good is an antacid? Resources available E5 Core Materials required Per group Core sheet How good is an antacid? Extension sheet Are acids and alkalis used up during neutralisation? Links with: Book 1 SoW Sc 1 E5 7E page 3 2 f, g, h, k, o, p Safety Eye protection is needed. The concentrations used here are not rated higher than `irritant'. Activity procedure 1 Demonstrate how to make a paper dish for the antacid, and revisit tareing the balance if necessary. 2 Students measure 40 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid and add a few drops of indicator. 3 Students add one spatulaful of antacid at a time and check to see if the acid has been neutralised. When it has, they reweigh the antacid and subtract this from the original mass of antacid to find the amount used. The procedure is repeated for each antacid. Running the activity Remind students that when the right amounts of acid and alkali are mixed together they make a neutral solution. A good way to find out if anything has been `used up' is to weigh before and after a change. It is preferable to have more than one balance if possible, to avoid students having to wait. UI paper can be used instead of the UI solution by dropping one strip into the acid ± the colour leaches into the liquid. If all the antacids are carbonate (or bicarbonate) based the experiment can be done just by looking for fizzing, although this will then miss a valuable opportunity for reinforcement of neutralisation. l 100 cm3 beaker l 50 cm3 measuring cylinder l dropper (for measuring acid) l spatula l stirring rod. l UI solution Access to l top-pan balance l 0.4 mol/dm3 hydrochloric acid l various antacids (made by mixing different proportions of sodium hydrogen carbonate and salt, labelled with letters.) Notes on materials preparation Refer to The CLEAPSS Laboratory Handbook, HazCards, or similar publications for information on making up solutions. Sample results If you use 0.4 M hydrochloric acid, 40 cm3 of the acid should react with 3.36 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate or 6.72 g of 50:50 mix, so you can work out the expected answers for each of your own mixes. Answers 1 See above. 2 Which needed the smallest amount of antacid to use up the acid. 3 Because that is what you want the antacid to do to cure the indigestion. 4 Add the masses found during this experiment all at once, and see which stops fizzing first ± which reacts the fastest. You could add an exercise on which is the cheapest, by allocating each antacid a cost and asking students to work out the cost of the `dose'. The results can be pre-ordained by the mix used for each ``antacid''. If the beaker is stood on white paper or a tile, the indicator colour is easier to see. 7 q I Bradley, C Tear, M Winterbottom, S Young, 2001, The Heinemann Science Scheme Activity Measuring the pH of different solutions E3 Core Aim To measure and record the pH of solutions Take care when using acids and alkalis!

Aim To find out if acids and alkalis are used up during neutralisation. When the right amounts of an acid and an alkali are mixed together, they make a neutral solution. We say that the acid and alkali have cancelled each other out. Could this mean that the acid has ``used up'' the alkali? Or has the alkali ``used up'' the acid? A good way to find out if something has been used up is to weigh it before and after a change: if the mass goes down, something may have been used up. Xavier and Jeannette carried out the experiment below to find out if anything had been used up during neutralisation. 3 l They measured 100 cm of hydrochloric acid and put it in to the 250 cm3 beaker. l They put the beaker carefully on the balance and wrote down the mass. 3 l They measured 100 cm of sodium hydroxide solution and put it in to the other 250 cm3 beaker. l They also wrote down the mass of this beaker. l They carefully mixed the acid and the alkali together. l They put both beakers carefully back on the balance and recorded the total mass again. Results E5 beaker containing 100 cm3 of hydrochloric acid top pan balance beaker containing 100 cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution top pan balance ;; ;; beaker containing mixture empty beaker top pan balance Mass of hydrochloric acid + beaker = 179 g oxide Mass of sodium hydr + beaker = 185 g ts = 364 g Both beakers + conten Mass of mixture + 2 beakers = 364 g Questions 1 What is the difference between the total mass of the beakers and the chemicals before and after the acid and alkali were mixed? 2 Do you think the acid was used up? 3 Do you think the alkali was used up? 4 What do you think we mean when we say that the acid and alkali are ``used up'' during neutralisation? 21 q I Bradley, C Tear, M Winterbottom, S Young, 2001, The Heinemann Science Scheme Test yourself Acids and alkalis Unit E 1 Match each hazard warning symbol to its meaning.

When you test the liquid in the bottle with universal indicator, you find that the liquid has a pH number of 5. Which of the following statements are true? l l l l The liquid is an alkali The liquid is a weak acid The liquid is sodium hydroxide solution The liquid is hazardous 6 Choose the right words to complete the sentences by crossing out the wrong words: Acids turn Universal Indicator red/green/blue, and have a sharp/sweet/blunt taste. Some alkalis are described as acidic/caustic/alkaline because they can burn living tissue. Alkalis turn Universal Indicator red/green/dark green if they are weak/strong/neutral. When acids and alkalis are mixed together, they add up/cancel out/disappear. The word scientists use to describe this is evaporation/condensation/neutralisation. 7 Complete the crossword.
