A strong acid (1 or 2 pH)
A weak base ( 8 or 9 pH)
The mixture would still be acidic but not as much.
It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.
you get an acid.
It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.
It depends on the amount and the strength of the solutions. If both solutions are equal in volume and strength, then the base would neutralise the acid. Thus forming a neutral substance.
Sodium hydroxide (strong base) and Sulphuric acid (strong acid)
It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.
A neutral salt in a solution.
you get an acid.
neutralized
How about the ever faithful hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide: HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H20. Strong Acid + Strong Base = Salt & Water

A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
It is a strong acid
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.
