any acid is buffered by a base. Acids are low pH and bases are high. it depends on the relationship between the two as to which combination will result in a neutral pH.

Are acids neutralised by acids to make salts and water?

No, acids do not neutralize acids. Acids neutralize bases to form salts and water. When an acid reacts with a base, they undergo a chemical reaction called a neutralization reaction that results in the formation of a salt and water.


What are some examples of buffers?

Buffers are weak acids or bases that can react with strong acids or bases to prevent sharp, sudden changes in pH....

Where do acids and bases have uses?

Acids and Bases are used in basically everything. All cleaners are usually bases or weak acids, that help remove stains, by reacting with the substance. Some weak acids and bases are used in foods, for example vinegar is a base and citric acid (From lemons etc). is obviously an acid. Please respond if this did not fully help you understand acids and bases uses.

What can acids and bases do alone or together?

bases neutralise the acids


Are all substances that are Arrhenius Also bronsted lowry?

No, not all substances that are Arrhenius acids or bases are also Bronsted-Lowry acids or bases. Arrhenius acids and bases are defined based on their ability to increase the concentration of hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions in solution, while Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases are defined based on their ability to donate or accept a proton. Some substances can be Arrhenius acids or bases without being Bronsted-Lowry acids or bases, and vice versa.


What happens to the pH of a solution when it is neutralised?

Neutralization A neutral pH of 7 may mean that you are dealing with distilled water containing no acids and bases. In this case, the amount of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions will be equivalent because they will both be due to the ionization of water. However, a neutral pH can also be achieved in a solution containing acids and bases as long as the acids and bases have neutralized each other, meaning that the acids have donated as many hydrogen ions as have been accepted by the bases.


Do acids and bases exist in plants?

Of course they are. They are many acids and bases


Why acids and bases are important to everyday life?

acids and bases are important!


Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?

They don't dissolve (or more properly, dissociate) completely in water, only partially. Acids or bases that dissociate completely are called strong acids or bases.
