that not only explains the basics of acid­base reactions but that also address how acid­base reactions are related to the real world and how they essentially impact our ​
lives. Essential questions​
: 1. How do acid­ base reactions impact our lives? What neutralization reactions are involved in our daily lives? Guiding Questions/Objectives: 1. Introduce your topic with background information. 2. Write out the word equation and skeleton equation of your reaction. 3. Draw a molecular representation of your reaction 4. Indicate whether your reaction involves a strong or a weak acid. Explain in terms of Arrhenius model, include pictures. 5. Explain the types of indicators that determine the strength of an acid. Provide images of pH meters devices. 6. Tie back to introdcution, summarize how neutralization reaction impact our lives. You have three different options to choose from:​
