Penicillin is a weak acid.
when an acid and a base combine, salt and water are formed. This process of reaction of an acid and base is called neutralisation.
Acid =)
its an acid
is an acid
In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride
Type your answer here... no
An acid can turn into a base if you mix a much stronger base with it! That way the base acid overpowers the acid and makes the acid a base!
salicylic acid
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
It is a base It is a base It is a base
the penicillin would be deactiviated and therefore not work as the acid in your stomach gets higher to digest the food the penicillin will not perform how it should do !! =D
Deuteromycotes
Flour is a base, not an acid.
It is a Base.
The base which a certain acid turns into.Every acid had a conjugate base:HX (acid) X- (conjugate base)The acid is also called the base's conjugate acid.
Sulfuric Acid is a powerful acid and not a base.
Its a acid base simply acid ;)
