An acid base neutralization is not a substance as stated before but a reaction between acid molecules (or the protons from it) and a base compound (or basic ion in it). The products formed are normally a salt and water.

Example:

HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O

Do bases neutralize acids?

Yes, bases neutralize acids by reacting with them to form water and a salt. The reaction between an acid and a base is known as a neutralization reaction. The amount of base needed to neutralize a given amount of acid is determined by their respective concentrations and the specific properties of the substances involved.


Why do most proteins need near a neutral?

When an acid is combined with a base, neutralization occurs. The result of neutralization is a salt and water. Neutralization helps return our body pH to neutral. The process of our bodies maintaining neutral pH so that proteins can work properly without being denaturated (unfolded) is known as homeostasis.


In a reaction of an acid with a base the pH changes to a value that is closer to what?

In a reaction of an acid with a base, the pH changes to a value that is closer to 7, which is considered neutral. This occurs because the acid and base neutralize each other's effects on pH, resulting in a solution that is neither acidic nor basic.


What is the difference between strength and concentration in terms of an acid or base?

Strength: how strong the bonds between the elements in the acid are. (the stronger the bonds the harder it is for the hydrogen ions to dissociate (break away) from the acid. Concentration: moles per liter. if there's a lot of the acid in a small amount of space there's a high concentration. just because the concentration is high, that doesn't mean the acid wouldn't easily break up.
