What happens to the total mass when an acid reacts with an alkali?

The total mass will remain the same. The Law of Mass Conservation that matter cannot be created or destroyed. So, as long as the acid and the base react in a closed system (none of the products escape measurement) the mass will remain the same. The only way the total mass could seem less then the original mass would be because some of the water, that is always created in the reaction of an acid or base, has evaporated. Or in the case of Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) carbon dioxide is released when it reacts with an acid, so unless it reacts in a closed system, that mass will escape measure.

When a acid reacts with an alkali what are the twp products are formed what are they?
acid+alkali=salt+water
When a base is mixed with acidic solution neutralization occurs because?
when a base is mixed with an acidic solution why does neutralization occurs?
What is neutralisation?
A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and salt and involves the combination of H+ ions and OH- ions to generate water. When a solution is neutralized, it means that salts are formed from equal weights of acid and base.
What happens to an acid when it is gradually mixed with increasing amounts of alkali?
They will neutralize and form water and salt. Example, if the pH value for the acid is 3 and the pH value for the alkali is11 , they will be equal.
Is a nettle sting an acid or a alkali?
a nettle sting is acid but a doc leaf is alkali which is why it neutralises it
What happens to total mass when an acid reacts with an alkali?
Total mass remains the same according to the law of conservation of mass.
What happens when an acid reacts with an alkali?
Acid + alkali ---> Salt + Water for exampleSodium Hydroxide + Hydrochloric Acid ---> Sodium Chloride + Water
When a acid reacts with an alkali what are the twp products are formed what are they?
acid+alkali=salt+water
What is the name when an acid reacts with an alkali?
neutralization
What is it called when a acid reacts with an alkali?
distilation
What word describes the reaction of an acid and alkali?
When an acid reacts with an alkali (or vice versa) it is called neutralisation.
When acid reacts with alkali what happens?
When an acid reacts with an alkali, it forms a salt along with water. For example, when hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hyroxide(an alkali), it forms sodium chloride(common table salt) & water.
What happens when an alkali reacts with an acid?
A chemical reaction. . Acid + alkali = salt + water . eg H 2 SO 4 + 2NaOH = Na 2 SO 4 + 2H 2 O
What word describes When an acid reacts with an alkali?
Neutralization
What gas is given off when acid reacts with a alkali?
Depends on the acid and alkali. But in most cases Hydrogen or Carbon Dioxide.
What is a diagram of acid and alkali particles reacting?
Basically, it is where an acid (red) reacts with an alkali (blue) to create a neutral (green)
What is the name of the chemical reaction that happens when an acid reacts to an alkali?
It is commonly called 'neutralisation' and the resultant chemical compounds are 'a salt' and 'water'.
