Neutralisation Reactions, Acid Rain, and Electrochemical Cells

Vocabulary flashcards covering neutralisation experiments, everyday neutralisation examples, acid rain, and S2 electrochemical cells based on lecture notes.

Acid + Metal carbonate

A reaction type that represents a neutralisation reaction.

Acid spillage treatment

A spillage of acid is treated with an alkali or base to make it neutral.

Bee sting

An acidic sting that is treated with a mild alkali, e.g. baking soda.
