It depends upon acid and salt for example if you add sulphuric acid on chloride salts HCl acid is produce but if HCl is added to sulphate salts nothing happens.

What happens when an acid reacts chemically with an alkali?

What happens is that first if you put an acid indicator and a sulphuric acid it will turn red but if you add another solution it will turn a different colour. and if you add acid and alkali together then it will turn into salt and H2O xxx


What happens when you add acid to magnesium?

The magnesium will react with the acid to produce hydrogen gas and a magnesium salt.


What happens when water and sulfur mix?

It turns into sulfuric acid. Then add salt, and it becomes hydrochloric acid. Awesome, huh? I have some sulfur, and I am going to try it.


What happens when you add a acid into a base?

They neutralise each other, assuming you neutralise a volume of acid with a base of the same molarity they completely cancel each other out leaving water and a salt. The salt differs depending on the acid and base used.

What happens when you add a acid to an alkali?

It form a salt & water. Here are the general acid reaction equations. Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water Carbon dioxide. NB The different between an alkali and a base is that an alkali is a soluble base. Here are four respective reaction equations. HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O 2HNO3 + K2O = 2KNO3 + H2O H2SO4 + Zn = ZnSO4 + H2 2CH3COOH + CaCO3 = Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O + CO2
