Is toothpaste an strong or weak 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
What colour does hydrochloric acid turn in red litmus paper?
Hydrochloric acid will keep litmus red - it needs alkali to turn it blue
What happens if you keep adding salt to the water?
If you keep adding salt to the same amount of water you started with you will notice that the water will keep rising and soon the will be a pile of salt at the bottom of the cup.
What to add to keep pH between 7.0 and 7.4?
If PH is above or below than you have to add an alkali or acid. eg If you had PH 3.2 that's a very high acid so you would add an alkali to neutralise it back to 7.0 - 7.4! I hope this helps!
what happens when Rack and pinion leak is not repaired?
You will have to keep adding power steering fluid.
Does acid and alkali equal salt water?
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.
What is the best treatment for alkali burns?
Pour acid all over the burn... nah only joking. Put loads of water on it, and keep it under something cold
How are alkali's used in food preservation?
Some methods of food preservation are acidic, like pickling foods and chemicals like benzoic acid are used to keep food fresh.
Why do you keep checking the pH when mixing a alkali and a acid?
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
Why are lakes limed?
Lakes are limed because of acid rain, without the added alkali in the water the pH balance of the lake would be pushed further towards acidic and this would be very detrimental to the aquatic life which have quite narrow tolerance bands for pH. So to keep the pH at roughly the same level lime is added.
Why were you instructed to keep swirling the flask?
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.
When doing the science project lava in a cup how long with effect go on if you keep adding sugar?
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.
