Is the neutralization of hydrochloric acid an exothermic or endothermic reaction?
ExothermicNeutralizing or even diluting a concentrated acid can be very exothermic. It can even cause the solution to boil if you are not careful! This is extremely dangerous! This is why when diluting concentrated acids (any kind) you should ADD ACID TO WATER and not the opposite.See the link below for more information about this important safety issue in the laboratory due to the exothermic nature of this reaction.
How do you raise the pH of nitric acid?
By diluting the concentration of nitric acid (and the concentration of H+).
What is it called when you make an acid weaker by mixing it with water?
diluting
A caustic absorbent neutralizes a spill by diluting it with acid?
true
Does diluting an acid give a more concentrated solution?
no it doesn't.dissolving or making a solution of an acid makes a more dilute solution of the acid.
The safest technique for diluting a concentrated acid is to stir constantly while pouring the?
you put acid to water slowly while stirring constantly.
What you mean by safety rule?
A safety rule is a rule that is followed to try to avoid an accident.
How is diluting an iced tea is different from diluting an acid?
When you dilute tea, it doesn't matter whether you add tea to water or water to tea. When you dilute acid, you should alwyas add acid to water, not the other way around. This is because water and acid will temporarily heat up; and it is dangerous to have a hot solution of strong acid mix (all the original acid plus the first drops of water to go in).
How can you use dilute solution in a sentence?
Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid and is created by diluting concentrated acetic acid 20 fold to create a 5% acid solution.
What is heat of dilution?
this the the heat released or absorbed when you dilute some liquid (for example diluting an acid with water to prepare a solution with lesser acid concentartion)
What is the chemical composition of RBC diluting fluid?
RBC diluting fluid contains sodium citrate, formalin and distilled water
How can you change the concentration of acid?
By diluting it with water or neutralising it with a base or alkaline
