- Alkalis,such as sodium hydroxide, are soluble bases. Metal oxides, such as copper(II) hydroxide, are insoluble bases. Insoluble bases also react with acids to form salts and water.
- In general,
acid + base ----> salt + water
- NEUTRALISATION is the reaction between an acid and a base to form salt and water only.
- An alkali react with an acid in a reaction called a neutralisation reaction. Neutralisation reactions are studied above.
- Hydrochloric acid (an acid) is being added to sodium hyroxide (an alkali).
*this have to use an indicator. the colour of the indicator will decrease to become neutral.
If you have a base an acid can neutralize it, giving water and a salt
A base, a basic oxide as CaO and a saline hydride as NaH will neutralize an acid.
This is because the base can neutralize the acid faster than a base
Add it to a base!
a Salt
A base.
If the base is of the equivalent strength of the acid, yes.
add an acid
Yes it can.
An acid and a base. ;)

a Salt
It is used to neutralize the stomach because alka seltzer is a acid and when a acid and base are used together they neutralize each other.
