    Question 5.
    \nWhen do you get a neutral solution from acids and bases?
    \nAnswer:
    \nWhen acids and bases are mixed in definite proportions they give a neutral solution.<\/p>\n

    Question 6.
    \nHow are salts produced? Give an example.
    \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. We have seen in the process of neutralization, both the acidic and the basic qualities are destroyed.<\/li>\n
    2. Actually when an acid and a base are mixed, a chemical reaction takes place and salts are produced.<\/li>\n
    3. For example by neutralizing Hydrochloric acid solution with Caustic soda (Sodium Hydroxide) solution, a salt Sodium Chloride is produced.<\/li>\n
    4. Production of salt depends on the quantity of acid and base by proportion in a very specific manner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      \nWhen is the solution made by mixing an acid and a base, a neutral solution? Describe a small activity.
                      \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. Take a clean test tube using a clean dropper and put 10 drops of Hydrochloric acid carefully in it and also add 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator solution.<\/li>\n
                      2. The solution becomes colourless as the indicator phenolphthalein is colourless in acidic medium.<\/li>\n
                      3. Now add Caustic soda solution (whose concentration is equal to Hydrochloric acid) drop by drop to the test tube.
                        \n\"AP<\/li>\n
                      4. After each drop shake the test tube well and see if there is any change in the colour of the solution.<\/li>\n
                      5. Keep adding the Caustic soda drop by drop until the colour begins to turn pink.<\/li>\n
                      6. Now the test tube has basic solution.<\/li>\n
                      7. Add one drop of Hydrochloric acid and see if it changes back to its original (colourless) state.<\/li>\n
                      8. If not, then add one more drop of Hydrochloric acid.<\/li>\n
                      9. Keep doing this until the solution in the test tube becomes colourless again.<\/li>\n
                      10. Now the solution in the test tube is neutral. It can be tested with litmus paper.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        1. On the basis of the experiment done above, we can conclude that adding excess of base to acidic solution we can turn acidic solution into basic solution.<\/li>\n
                        2. If we are given basic solution we can similarly convert it into acidic solution.<\/li>\n
                        3. In the above experiment, if we add excess of base (caustic soda) to acidic solution it converts into a base.<\/li>\n
                        4. Similarly we can change base into an acid.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
