Neutralisation

Neutralisation
Neutralisation is a chemical reaction between an acid and a base. Neutralization occurs when no excess hydrogen or hydroxide ions are present in a solution.


Aim/Objective
- Our aim was to create different ph levels by using a base (sodium hydroxide), acid (hydrochloric acid) and a universal indicator which resulted in different ph levels and different colours.

Methods
- We filled each of the test tubes with a universal indicator, we then put different amounts of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acids to achieve the different ph levels and colours.

Results
- The results were solutions that had different ph levels and different colours according to their level.

Conclusion
- The ph colour represented how acidic or alkali our solutions were after adding the sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid to our test tubes filled with a universal indicator.

"Do they know it's Christmas"
The song is referring to the people of Africa who are living in poverty and is in famine with no food and no other source or way to produce food. This was all around the Christmas season which is why it said in the song that they might not even know that it's Christmas.


Lyrics:
It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time
But say a prayer, Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring
There are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Here's to you
Raise a glass for everyone
Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned would you survive
Here's to them
Underneath that burning sun
You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
(Feed the world)
Feed the world
Feed the world

Music Through Time - Woodstock

 John Lennon's song titled "Give peace a chance" is all about how they were against the war and that people should focus on living in peace and giving love to others.

This song represents what John Lennon thinks about war and how war does not resolve anything, the youth at that time also agreed and have held tons of anti-war protests to present their dislike for the idea of having war instead of just living in peace. 

John Lennon would perform the song "Give peace a chance" with The Plastic Ono Band.
