It would depend on which acid and alkali were involved, the general rule is that adding an acid to an alkali will produce a salt and water. Sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide would give sodium sulphate + water Hydrochloric acid and potassium carbonate would give potassium chloride and water and carbon dioxide etc

How can you tell if a colourless liquid is an acid or an alkali?
For an acid, the solution remains colourless or unchanged. For an alkali, it would turn fuschia.
How would you get a sample of salt from a neutral acid?
Adding an alkali to an acid solution would result in forming a salt. However, no acid solution can be neutral.
If a seed crystal was added to a supersaturated solution how would you characterize the resulting solution?
If a seed crystal was added to a supersaturated solution, the resulting solution would be a crystallized solution. The formation of solid crystals that precipitate from a solution is called crystallization.
What alkali will turn litmus paper into blue?
Every alkali solution above 7 pH at 298 K would turn red litmus into blue.
What colour would the paper turn if you added it to an alkali?
Blue. This answer assumes that you are referring to litmus paper.
What part of a solution would added sugar be?
Sugar solution would be the solution.Water would be the solvent.Added sugar would be the SOLUTE.
Copper reacts with sodium hydroxide?
Copper metal itself does not react with sodium hydroxide. But when NaOH is added to a solution of copper ions, it would form a light blue precipitate, which is copper(II) hydroxide, and will NOT dissolve with the excess alkali.
What alkali could be added to a strong acid to neutralise it?
To neutralise a strong acid, you would need a strong alkali (or lots of a weak alkali, but that would be impractical). Potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide would all work.
What would happen OH-ions were added to a very basic solution?
It would become more basic.
How does alkali help to treat acidic soil?
A soil is acidic because there are compounds within it which dissolve in water to form an acid. An acid is defined as a substance which readily gives out protons to oter molecules. An alkali is the converse, in that it is a proton acceptor and readily takes on protons. Treating an acidic soil with an alkali would neutralise the soil, and so the soil would become less acidic. If enough alkali is added, the soil will become neutral, and it will become alkaline if even more alkali is added.
How would you produce a neutral salt solution from an acid and an alkali?
NaOH + HCl >> NaCl + H2O Table salt produced.
If Phenolphthalein solution is added to an ammonia-based solution of a window cleaner what color would it be?
pink
