no it doesn't, it simply just turns it into an indicator and has not neutralised it.
Lime is an alkaline substance. It is a basic compound that can be used to neutralize acids.
An alkali, for example, bicarbonate of soda.
To neutralize an alkali, you can add an acid to it. The acid will balance out the pH level by reacting with the alkali. Common acids used for neutralization include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and acetic acid.
Neutralize, you mean :) An equal amount of an acid and an alkali will neutralize to produce water and a corresponding salt. ;)
To neutralize an acid, you can add a base. For example, mixing vinegar (an acid) with baking soda (a base) creates carbon dioxide gas and water. To neutralize an alkali, you can add an acid. For instance, mixing a solution of sodium hydroxide (an alkali) with hydrochloric acid would form water and a salt.
An alkali
No an alkali is the opposite of an acid. Alkali = basic; acid = acidic.
They are alkali, hence the use of vinegar to neutralize the stings.
To cancel out acids, you can use a base like baking soda or antacids which will neutralize the acid. To cancel out alkalis, you can use an acid like vinegar or lemon juice which will neutralize the alkali.
They are alkali, hence the use of vinegar to neutralize the stings.
Alkali isn't an acid. Alkali and acid are terms used when the pH of a substance is a certain number, for example if a substance has a pH of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, then the substance is an acid. If the pH is 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15, then the substance is an alkali.
Hydrogen oxide is neither an acid nor an alkali. It is water, which is a neutral substance.
