Post-Lab Questions
State your hypothesis (developed in Step 8) here. Be sure toinclude what you think the pH will be, and why.
What is a neutralization reaction?
When might neutralization reactions be used in a laboratorysetting?
At what point was the solution in beaker “B” neutralized?
What do you think would have been the results if a strongersolution of sodium bicarbonate was used? Would it take more or lessto neutralize? What about a weaker concentration of sodiumbicarbonate? Ă‚Â Ă‚Â
