Drain cleaner acid or base?
it is usually sodium hydroxide - a base
Is drain cleaner an alkali or acid?
I believe it is an alkali ( base ) and that alkali is sodium hydroxide, NaOH.
Drain cleaner acidic alkaline or neutral?
It depends on the type of drain cleaner. Some are acidic (i.e. sulphuric acid based) and some are basic (i.e. sodium hydroxide based), but it would be unlikely that a drain cleaner would have a neutral pH.
Which chemical is a strong acid Sodium hydroxide sulfuric acid calcium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide?
sulphuric acid
The neutralisation of hydrochloric acid with calcium oxide?
Calcium Hydroxide + Hydrochloric acid = Calcium chloride + Water

Can calcium hydroxide and gastric acid be reversed?
calcium hydroxide and gastric acid can they be reversed?

Calcium Hydroxide + Hydrochloric acid = Calcium chloride + Water
What does Nitric acid plus calcium hydroxide yield?
An acid reacting with a hydroxide will result in the formation of water and the corresponding salt of the hydroxide's cation and the acid's anion. So in this case the products are water and calcium nitrate.
Can you name some Acids and Hydroxides?
Hydrochloric acid Sulfuric acid Phosphoric acid Sodium hydroxide Calcium hydroxide Potassium hydroxide
What does calcium and dilute hydroxide acid make?
calcium chloride +water
What happens when you mix sulphuric acid with calcium hydroxide?
Calcium Carbonate
Will exactly one mole of calcium hydroxide neutralize exactly one mole of phosphoric acid?
No, because one mole of calcium hydroxide constitutes two equivalents of calcium hydroxide for neutralization, but one mole of phosphoric acid constitutes three equivalents of phosphoric acid for neutralization. Therefore, one mole of calcium hydroxide will neutralize only 2/3 of one mole of phosphoric acid.
Why is the reaction of calcium hydroxide and sulfuric acid different from sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid?
The reactions of sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide with sulfuric acid will produce sodium sulfate and calcium sulfate respectively (water will be another product in both reactions. Sodium sulfate is soluble in water and so will remain in solution. Calcium sulfate, however, is insoluble and will precipitate as a solid.
