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

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 happens when a strong acid and a strong bace react?

A strong acid dissolves to form H+ and an anion, and a strong base dissolves in water to form OH- and a cation. When they react, the H+ and OH- react, forming water (and usually a large amount of heat) the anion and cation may either react to form a precipitate (if the reaction yields an insoluble compound) or they remain suspended (if their compound would yield an already soluble compound). A strong acid when react with a strong base, a neutral compound is formed with the evolution of heat.


What happens when a solution of sulphuric acid is added to a solution of ammonium?

Nothing, strong (H2SO4) and weak acid (NH4+) do not react with each other.However the weak base ammoniA (NH3) will react to form ammoniUM (NH4+) ions by gaining protons from strong acid (H+)


How so acid base buffer systems minimize pH changes?

Buffers contain both one weak acid and its coupled weak base, that can not react with each other (they are a so-called conjugated system). When you add strong acid it will react with the base part of this buffer, when strong base (hydroxide) is added it will react with the acid.


What happens when a weak acid and a strong base combine?

you get an acid.


The ionic compound produced when a strong acid and strong base react is called a what?

A salt.


What happens when you react an insoluble base with an acid?

it creates salt and water


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.


When equivalent amounts of a strong acid and a strong base react the results is?

They create a mostly neutral mixture.


What happens when you combine a very strong acid and a very strong base?

neutralized


Can two bases react?

There are many things with a base could react. A base could react with an acid or foods for example.


What happens when an acid and a base react?

they form a neutralized substance.They form the salt.
