An Acid is neutralised by a Base , Alkali or Carboinate.
Remember the general equations.
Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water
Acid + Base = Salt + Water
Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide.
NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.
a base
Potassium hydroxide is a strong alkali. Therefore it can be neutralized by using a strong acid such as nitric acid or sulfuric acid.
a baseBase + Acid ===> salt + waterNaOH + HCl ===> NaCl + H2O
Acid is neutralized by Bases (or Basic Substances.)
An acid is neutralized by adding base to it as calamine solution neutralizes formic acid in a bee's sting when injected into a person's body.
It is the unsoluble salt of a dicarbonic acid: Oxalic acid, neutralized by Ca-hydroxide.
it is diluted Edited: It is NOT diluted. It is neutralized.
if you dilute the acid
Potassium hydroxide is a strong alkali. Therefore it can be neutralized by using a strong acid such as nitric acid or sulfuric acid.
salt
Sulphuric Acid.
A chloride salt is the resulting substance of neutralizing HCl. The exact type of salt depends upon what the acid was neutralized with.
a baseBase + Acid ===> salt + waterNaOH + HCl ===> NaCl + H2O
Acid is neutralized when it is added to an equal amount of base.
Acid is neutralized by Bases (or Basic Substances.)
the stomach
HNO3 is not neutral.It is a strong acid.
