: A [[base]] can be '''neutralised''' by adding an [[acid]].
: When there is a dangerous [[acid]] spill it is better to use an [[insoluble]] base to '''neutralise''' it than an [[alkali]] because if too much is used the [[insoluble]] [[base]] will not make the [[solution]] go above [[pH]] [[Neutral (Chemistry)|7]] but an [[alkali]] may '''neutralise''' and then replace the [[acid]] with another [[corrosive]] [[chemical]] with a high [[pH]].
: During [[Neutralisation]] [[experiment]]s an [[Indicator (Chemistry)|indicator]] is added to observe when the [[solution]] becomes [[Neutral (Chemistry)|neutral]].
