What happens when you mix a strong acid and a weak alkali together?

Answer 1

the pH of the acid and the pH of the alkali basically cancel each other out. because an alkali\'s pH is high, around fourteen and an acid\'s is low, around 1, when these are added together, the solution becomes neutral, meaning it has a pH of around 7 and would not cause anyone any bodily harm,

e.g. water is a neutral substance. In a lab environment water would be neutral, however water can also be acidic or alkalin. e.g. water in a fish tank must be monitored to maintain its pH level.

Answer 2

Acids are aqueous solutions that are already dissolved in water. Mixing the two normally simply results in a less concentrated acid. However when pouring water into concentrated acid, it is possible for a violent exothermic to occur. That's why you should ALWAYS pour acid into water instead of the other way around. This ensures the mixture you are creating is simply dilute acid instead of a hot, spattering, corrosive mess. Be safe, kids.

Answer 3

When you mix acid and alkali, reaction takes place and a salt is formed. This is known as neutralisation.

Answer 4

Because the acid is strong and the alkali has the same strengh, they both cancel each other out and the process called is. NEUTRALISATION!!!

Answer 5

it all depends on what acid you use some can react and others can change colour some do nothing atall

Answer 6

Double replacement occurs creating a salt and water.

Answer 7

it becomes neutral on the litmus scale depending on type and strength of both ingredients.

Answer 8

you on your self it makes wax
