A chemical reaction.
Acid + alkali = salt + water
eg H2SO4 + 2NaOH = Na2SO4 + 2H2O
Sulfuric acid + Sodium Hydroxide = Sodium Sulfate + water
Whan as acid meets an alkali they create a chemical reaction. If there is an acid and you add a weak alkali you should bring it down to neutral.
if you add acid and alkali's you will get neutral
No chemical reaction occurs - a mixture is created. No chemical reaction occurs - a mixture is created.
it changes its colour into red.
What happens is that first if you put an acid indicator and a sulphuric acid it will turn red but if you add another solution it will turn a different colour. and if you add acid and alkali together then it will turn into salt and H2O xxx
To neutralise an acid add sodium carbonate. 2H^+ + Na2CO3 = 2Na^(+) + H2O + CO2 It forms the salt , water and carbon dioxide. To neutralise an alkali add 'milk'.
Add acid
add the equivalent alkali

It will neutralise the alkali and then turn the liquid to an acid.
Alkali metals oxides are the result of these reactions.
An alkali
Add acid
add the equivalent alkali
If an acid or alkali is spilt you add the opposite to it of of equal strength.
If it is very acidy, eg pH 1, then add alkali until it neutralises the acid. If it is a strong alkali, add acid until it neutralises the alkali . Hope this helps, Nomes24 :D
pH is NOT a compound, it is a acidic/base property of solutions. So you cannot add 'drops of pH' to anything what's so ever.
In acid-base reactions, neutralizing is when you add exactly enough chemical to bring the total solution pH to 7. If you have acid you put alkali in it; for alkali you add acid.
