It is commonly called 'neutralisation' and the resultant chemical compounds are 'a salt' and 'water'.
A chemical reaction. . Acid + alkali = salt + water . eg H 2 SO 4 + 2NaOH = Na 2 SO 4 + 2H 2 O
a neutralisation reaction
A chemical reaction. . Acid + alkali = salt + water . eg H 2 SO 4 + 2NaOH = Na 2 SO 4 + 2H 2 O
A chemical change occurs when this happens.
Acid + alkali ---> Salt + Water for exampleSodium Hydroxide + Hydrochloric Acid ---> Sodium Chloride + Water
When an acid reacts with an alkali (or vice versa) it is called neutralisation.
When something reacts, that is a chemical reaction. Chemical change.
Reacts
When an alkali (base) is added to vinegar, the acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with the alkali. These reactions are nearly all exothermic, that is, they generate heat as the chemical reaction proceeds. This is observed by a change in the temperature of the aqueous solution and the surrounding air.
When an acid reacts with an alkali, it forms a salt along with water. For example, when hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hyroxide(an alkali), it forms sodium chloride(common table salt) & water.
