A Label as a Hidden Persuader: Chemists' Neutralization Concept.
Schmidt, Hans-Jurgen
International Journal of Science Education, v13 n4 p459-72 Oct-Dec 1991
Identifies and describes the problems students have with the concept of neutralization. Analysis of over 7,500 students' answers to test questions over neutralization showed that many students understand the concept in its original meaning. Students assumed that in any neutralization reaction a neutral solution is formed, even if a weak acid or base takes part in the reaction. (Author/KR)
