What happens when a strong acid and a strong base are mix together?

They react by forming water and a salt which is either soluble thus ionised, or as insoluble precipitate.

What acid and base can you comdine and what happens?
How about the ever faithful hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide: HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H20. Strong Acid + Strong Base = Salt & Water
What will produce the most hydronium ions in an aqueous solution?
Strong acid > Weak acid > weak base > strong Base. Will produce the most hydronium ions to the least hydronium ions.
Is NiNO3 an acid or base?
It is a salt formed from strong acid and strong base and hence it is neither acidic nor basic.
Is Dimethylamine strong acid?
no, base
Why can a buffer only buffer against a small amounts of acid or base?
A strong acid and a strong base will react together to produce a neutral salt. E.g., HCl (strong acid) and NaOH (strong base) will react together to form H20 and NaCl (salt). The salt is neutral (if you dump table salt into water, the solution will be neutral) this is because the Na+ and Cl- are perfectly happy being charged atoms. If you have something that doesn't really like to be ionized, which is a weak acid or base (for example acetic acid, (vinegar) which is only 1.1% ionized (charged) in a water solution) will only be ionized if something forces it to be ionized, i.e., a strong acid or base. When there is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate salt (or weak base and its conjugate salt) a buffer is formed. This is due to the fact that if you add some strong acid it will simply react with the conjugate salt, and if you add some strong base it will react with the weak acid. This is how they "buffer solutions" by keeping things pretty balanced. So to answer your question, a buffer must contain something that is only weakly reactive, and can react further when the need is present. A strong acid/base will totally react, so there is nothing left over to do any buffering.
What happens when a weak acid and a strong base combine?
you get an acid.
What happens when you combine a very strong acid and a very strong base?
neutralized
What acid and base can you comdine and what happens?
How about the ever faithful hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide: HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H20. Strong Acid + Strong Base = Salt & Water
What happens when mixing a strong acid with a strong base?
It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.
What happens when a strong base mixes with a strong acid?
It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.
What happens when a strong acid mixes with a weak base?
A strong acid (1 or 2 pH) A weak base ( 8 or 9 pH) The mixture would still be acidic but not as much.
What strong acid and strong base produce sodium sulfate?
Sodium hydroxide (strong base) and Sulphuric acid (strong acid)
What is formed when a strong acid with a strong base?
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
What is formed when strong acid combines with a strong base?
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
Is HCHO2 a strong acid or base?
It is a strong acid
What happens when you mix a strong acid with a strong base?
When a strong acid and a strong base mix, all acidic protons will react with every basic molecule until one or the other runs out. The curve for a titration of a strong acid with a strong base will change slowly at first, and dramatically when the equivalence point (where the number of moles of acid is equal to the number of moles of base) is reached. The reaction, like all acid-base reactions, is fast.
Will the solution at the end point of an acidbase titration be acidic neutral or alkaline if it is a weak acid and strong base?
alkaline obviously! strong acid + strong base= neutral strong acid + weak base= acidic weak acid + strong base= alkaline
