it makes a chemical reaction
A chemical reaction. Acid + alkali = salt + water eg H2SO4 + 2NaOH = Na2SO4 + 2H2O Sulfuric acid + Sodium Hydroxide = Sodium Sulfate + water Whan as acid meets an alkali they create a chemical reaction. If there is an acid and you add a weak alkali you should bring it down to neutral.
The reaction between an acid and an alkali is known as a neutralization.
a neutral.
To neutralise an acid add sodium carbonate. 2H^+ + Na2CO3 = 2Na^(+) + H2O + CO2 It forms the salt , water and carbon dioxide. To neutralise an alkali add 'milk'.
It will neutralise the alkali and then turn the liquid to an acid.
A chemical change occurred. I really hope you did this experiment in a fume hood; adding a strong acid to a strong alkali usually creates a strong explosion.
Adding water (which is not a reactant) is a physical process.

By adding an equally strong alkali
Alkalis
Chemical paint stripper is usually an acid.
Increase the hydroxide concentration in the acid by adding an excess of any alkali solution
