#2.1.4a

the formulae of the common acids (HCl, H2SO4, HNO3 and CH3COOH) and the common alkalis (NaOH, KOH and NH3) and explanation that acids release H+ ions in aqueous solution and alkalis release OH ions in aqueous solution

#2.1.4b

qualitative explanation of strong and weak acids in terms of relative dissociations

#2.1.4c

neutralisation as the reaction of:

(i) H+ and OH to form H2O
(ii) acids with bases, including carbonates, metal oxides and alkalis (water-soluble bases), to form salts, including full equations

#2.1.4d
