Water and a salt (a salt referring to any ionic compound). An example would be HCl neutralizing KOH.
HCl+KOH-->H2O+KCl
When an acid and a base neutralize each other, they form water and a salt. The salt formed will depend on the specific acid and base that reacted.
A base.
add an acid
An acid and a base. ;)
No, it cannot.
Yes it can.
A salt and water. For example if you add hydrochloric acid to sodium hydroxide (a base), you will get sodium chloride (a salt) and water. ie. HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O But unless the acid and base are perfectly balanced you'll have some acid or base left over.
To neutralize a base with a pH of 9, you would add an acid of equal strength. For example, you could add hydrochloric acid (pH=-1) to the base to neutralize it and bring the pH closer to 7, which is neutral.
To effectively neutralize an acid, you can add a base to it. The base will react with the acid to form water and a salt, which will help balance the pH level. It is important to use the correct amount of base to completely neutralize the acid.
If the base is of the equivalent strength of the acid, yes.
Use an acid.
To neutralize an acidic substance, you can add a base to it. The base will react with the acid to form water and a salt, which will help to balance the pH level. It is important to use the appropriate amount of base to completely neutralize the acid.
