Base
An acid contains more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions. Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) in water, while bases release hydroxide ions (OH-).
When an acid is mixed with a hydroxide base, a neutralization reaction occurs resulting in the formation of water and a salt. The hydrogen ions from the acid combine with the hydroxide ions from the base to form water, while the positive and negative ions from the acid and base combine to form a salt.
Hydrochloric Acid would be the stronger acid, as Sodium Hydroxide is an alkali.
Till date there is no symbol for acid and base but an acid molecule is ending with hydride ion(H negative) and a base is ending with hydroxide ion (OH negative).
When hydrogen and hydroxide combine, they form water through a chemical reaction known as neutralization. This reaction involves the combination of the hydrogen ion (H+) from the acid (hydrogen) with the hydroxide ion (OH-) from the base (hydroxide) to produce water (H2O).
The concentration of hydrogen ions decreases as they react with hydroxide ions from the base to form water molecules.
In simplest terms, and acid produces hydrogen ions (H+) when mixed with water, while a base produces hydroxide ions (OH-)
Disodium hydrogen phosphate is a basic salt because it is derived from a strong base (sodium hydroxide) and a weak acid (phosphoric acid). It can act as a buffer in solution by accepting hydrogen ions to maintain a stable pH.
Sodium hydroxide is a base.
An acid typically has hydrogen as the first element in its chemical formula, such as HCl for hydrochloric acid. A base will often contain hydroxide ion (OH-) in its formula, like NaOH for sodium hydroxide. The number of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions can also indicate the strength of the acid or base.
Hydrochloric acid is stronger than sodium hydroxide. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that completely dissociates in water to release hydrogen ions, while sodium hydroxide is a strong base that dissociates to release hydroxide ions. In a neutralization reaction between the two, the acid would donate a proton to the base to form water and a salt.
Acid and hydroxide produces a salt & Water. The system becomes neutrl. HA + MOH = MA + H2O Remember the general equations. Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Alkali(hydroxide) = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt +Water + Carbon Dioxide. NB A Base is the oxide of a Group(I) or (II) metal. An Alkali is a soluble base. These soluble bases (alkalis) are often referred to a 'hydroxides'.
