It will neutralise the alkali and then turn the liquid to an acid.
toothpaste is an alkali because bacteria uses acid to eat away at teeth so toothpaste manufactures include alkali in their recipe to neutralize this acid, it also works as a cleansing agent to keep our teeth white! - hope this helps
Sea water is in fact basic. This results from the various salts dissolved in the water. Although one would expect sea water to be acidic (carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in water to form carbonic acid), limestone deposits help to keep the ocean basic.
You will have to keep adding power steering fluid.
Hydrochloric acid will keep litmus red - it needs alkali to turn it blue
Some methods of food preservation are acidic, like pickling foods and chemicals like benzoic acid are used to keep food fresh.
Adding more acid to a buffer solution will initially cause a slight decrease in pH as the buffer system neutralizes the added acid. However, as the acid is continually added, the buffer system may become overwhelmed, leading to a significant decrease in pH over time.
To mix the reactants. Assuming you have been doing a titration experiment and I am doing your homework its so as you add the acid/alkali you can accuratly close the biuret when the indicator changes colour.
The best treatment for alkali burns is to immediately flush the affected area with copious amounts of water for at least 20 minutes to dilute and remove the alkali. Seek medical attention promptly to prevent further tissue damage and complications. Do not attempt to neutralize the alkali with acids as this can worsen the injury.
it will not keep going because you have to keep adding salt instead of sugar it will go on fovever if you keep adding salt.
generally if you mix an acid or an alkali together, it is for titration, whereby you want your result to be neutral solution. The only way to check if a chemical solution is neutral is by checking the pH and thus can be done by the indicators ie: universal indicator, methyl orange, screened methyl orange, bromythyl blue, etc
They are mostly comprised of acidic things not unlike the acid in your stomach. The chemicals in the remedies help break down the food or help you excrete the food. Stay notorious and keep asking questions to make WikiAnswers the best it can be! :D >^
Adding salt to water increases the water's boiling point and decreases its freezing point. This makes it boil at a higher temperature and freeze at a lower temperature. Additionally, the salt dissolves in the water and increases its salinity, affecting its taste and buoyancy.
