There are multiple definitions for "acid" and "base" (alkali) in chemistry. One of the more general is the Lewis definition, which defines an acid as an electron acceptor and a base as an electron donor. (Alternatively, there's the Bronsted-Lowry definition, which says that an acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor.)

Does acid produce a gas with an alkali?
No gas is produced in the reaction of an acid and an alkali. In a neutralisation reaction, acid + alkali -> salt + water
Is water an acid or an alkali?
Water is neither acid or alkali it is neutral
Is soda water a acid or alkali?
It is an acid
Is lighter fluid an acid or alkali?
It is neither acid nor alkali because it is not in water!
What is an acid neutralized by?
An Acid is neutralised by a Base , Alkali or Carboinate. Remember the general equations. Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.

When a acid reacts with an alkali what are the twp products are formed what are they?
acid+alkali=salt+water

Is water acid or alkali?
Water is neutral.
Do you need water to know if something is an acid or alkali?
no you do not always need water to see whether something is acid or alkali
What is the reaction when you add acids and alkali's?
you create a neutral solution -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well it depends actually it doesn't always create a neutral solution. Here's the order: Strong Alkali + Strong Acid = Neutralisation (water + salt) Strong Alkali + Weak Acid = Weak Alkali Weak Alkali + Weak Acid = Neutralisation ( water + salt) Weak Alkali + Strong Acid = Weak Acid Strong Alkali + Strong Acid = Neutralisation (water + salt) Hope it helps! :)
When an acid neutralizes an alkali what 2 things are formed?
And acid plus an alkali produces water and a salt.
What happens when an acid reacts with an alkali?
Acid + alkali ---> Salt + Water for exampleSodium Hydroxide + Hydrochloric Acid ---> Sodium Chloride + Water
What is the symbol equation for acid reacting with alkali?
Example 1: Acid - Hydrochloric acid - HCl Alkali - Sodium Hydroxide - NaOH Acid + Alkali -> Salt + Water HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O Example 2: Acid - Hydrochloric acid - HCl Alkali - Magnesium Hydroxide - Mg(OH)2 Acid + Alkali -> Salt + Water 2HCl + Mg(OH)2 -> MgCl2 + 2H2O
