Its neither actually. How?

The Ph Scale Goes from 0-14, 0 being the most acidic, 7 being neutral, and 14 being the most basic. The scale looks like this:

0<--7-->14

However, pure water is understood as neutral on the scale. Hope I helped you out reader!

How does a Bronsted-Lowry acid form its conjugate base when dissolved in water?

When a Brønsted-Lowry acid dissolves in water, it donates a proton (H+) to a water molecule, forming its conjugate base. For example, when hydrochloric acid (HCl) donates a proton to a water molecule, it forms the chloride ion (Cl-) as its conjugate base.

What is produced when an acid and a base are mixed?

When an acid and a base are mixed it will give rise to a salt and water. For example HCl reacts with NaOH to give NaCl and H2O. The basic formula for the reaction of an acid and base is: HA + BOH ----&gt; AB + H2O [acid] [base] [salt] [water]

What is left when a base and an acid neutralize?

A salt and water. For example if you add hydrochloric acid to sodium hydroxide (a base), you will get sodium chloride (a salt) and water. ie. HCl + NaOH -&gt; NaCl + H2O But unless the acid and base are perfectly balanced you'll have some acid or base left over.

What is the general equation for a acid-base reaction?

Here are the four general acid reactions. Acid + Base = Salr + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soliuble base.


A reaction of an acid and base will produce water and what?

Explains water's role in acid-base reactions?

water is responsible for ionization of acid and base, without water the terms acid and base are meaningless.
