what would they use to neutralise the acid and why. what are 5 characteristic properties of acids and the formulae of the chemical used to neutralise the acid. a word equation for neutralisation reaction. Indicators for strengths of acid. A balanced symbol equation for the neutralisation reaction. The formulae of acids and alkalis.
This is my 11 year old sons chemistry homework. Its got to be presented as a newspaper article - HELP!!!!!!

They would probably use calcium carbonate CaCO3 (chalk) to neutralise the acid, as it's a solid and relatively cheap.
Calcium Carbonate + Hydrochloric acid --> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Calcium Chloride
THey would probably not use an indicator, but just keep on chucking on the chalk until the reaction stops (it will stop bubbling)
Not 100% relevant but... once you've got the text, try www.fodey.com to make it look like a real newspaper!

There is a wealth of information to be found by searching hydrochloric acid on the web. The info can be tailored to suit your lads requirements.
Good luck

try putting NaOh or baking soda with the HCL ACID
HCL + NaOh ---> NaCl + H2O
