| Describe what happens when an acid reacts with a base. | They neutralise each other to form water and salt. |
| What is the reaction between an acid and a base called? | Neutralisation. |
| What is produced when an acid is neutralised by a base? | Water and a salt. |
| What is a titration? | A titration is performed to work out the strengths of the acid or base used. |
