Add the correct amount of an Alkali, such as Sodium Hydroxide. Use an indicator to find out when it has been neutralized, such as phenolphthalein (however you spell it) or Universal Indicator.

Add for example sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and check the pH. You can use sodium bicarbonate ( baking soda)

Acids are neutralized by bases. You could neutralize hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide, for example.

Because the pH for hydrochloric is low, you could mix a solution which is a base (a solution with a pH of above 7).

Hydrochloric acid can be neutralised by a base (ie an alkali) with the same number of moles (amount of particles).

Why does the rate of a reaction slow down when a reduced concentration of hydrochloric acid is added to a chemical?

the hydrochloric acid denatures the enzymes (changes their shapes), so they can no longer bind to the substrate and make the reaction occur.


If solid sodium hydroxide were added to neutralize the HCl would this reverse the reaction and cause the sodium chloride to redissolve?

No, adding solid sodium hydroxide to neutralize hydrochloric acid (HCl) would not cause sodium chloride to redissolve. The reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid forms water and sodium chloride, which remains in its dissolved form. The addition of solid sodium hydroxide would simply further neutralize the acid and increase the concentration of the resulting sodium chloride solution.
