Answer:
Alkali metals and acid react to produce salts of the metal and the acid which exist as the ionized components (as an example, 2Na + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + H2) The hydrogen is liberated as a gas which leaves the reaction and prevents the reaction form reaching an equilibrium. The reaction would also be very explosive due to the Cl and Na forming a noble gas arrangement from very unstable shells (eg 1 s electron (Na) and 5 p electrons (Cl). Also the hydrogen liberated could also be a potential hazard is exposed to a naked flame due to its reactivity.

Is sulfuric acid an alkali metal?
No. Sulfuric acid is an acid. The alkali metals are metallic elements.
What are alkails in?
Alkali metals: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr. Alkali compounds: hydroxides.
When alkali metals are heated with hydrongen they form?
we call them hydrides. Hydrides are forming by the reaction.
What tendency do alkali metals react with other substances?
Among the alkali metals, the tendency to react with other substances increases form top to bottom within the group.Accompanying link shows the reaction from lithium through to cesium
What is a substance that gives up hydrogen in a chemical reaction an alkali or a base oran acid or a metal?
acid
Does acid produce a gas with an alkali?
No gas is produced in the reaction of an acid and an alkali. In a neutralisation reaction, acid + alkali -> salt + water
Is a metal an acid or alkali?
its definitley not acid Some metals are called alkali metals or alkaline earth metals because they often form alkaline compounds; but metals are not alkali or acids.
Is sulfuric acid an alkali metal?
No. Sulfuric acid is an acid. The alkali metals are metallic elements.
What is the name of the chemical reaction between an acid or an alkali?
The reaction between an acid and an alkali is known as a neutralization.
What is a reaction between an acid and alkali called?
Neutralization is the reaction between an acid and an alkali. Neutralization usually results in the formation of a salt from the reaction.
What is the reaction between an acid and an alkali is called?
Neutralization is the reaction between an acid and an alkali. Neutralization usually results in the formation of a salt from the reaction.
What does acid and an alkali together do?
it makes a chemical reaction
What metals react violently with acid?
All alkali metals (group 1) and most earth-alkali metals (group 2)
What happens when you add an alkali to an alkali?
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.
What word describes the reaction of an acid and alkali?
When an acid reacts with an alkali (or vice versa) it is called neutralisation.
What type of reaction when acid reacts wiyh alkali?
a neutralisation reaction
What is the reaction called when an alkali and a acid mix togeteher?
Neutralization reaction.
