Joy reacts small pieces of magnesium with some sulphuric acid. She observes bubbles being made. When the fizzing stops she notices that all the magnesium has disappeared. She tests the solution with universal indicator paper, and it changes colour to orange. Her teacher tells joy that she must have a neutral solution otherwise her salt crystals will not be pure. Explain why and describe how she would do this.
