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.


Which is more concentrated -20g of alkali in 250 cm3 of solution or 10 g of the same alkai in 500 cm3 of solution?

To determine which solution is more concentrated, we need to calculate the concentration of each solution in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3). For the first solution with 20g of alkali in 250 cm3 of solution, the concentration would be 20g / 250 cm3 = 0.08 g/cm3. For the second solution with 10g of alkali in 500 cm3 of solution, the concentration would be 10g / 500 cm3 = 0.02 g/cm3. Therefore, the first solution with 20g of alkali in 250 cm3 of solution is more concentrated at 0.08 g/cm3 compared to the second solution with 10g of alkali in 500 cm3 of solution at 0.02 g/cm3.


Why was the conical flask not washed with the alkali solution it was going to contain?

The conical flask was not washed with the alkali solution it was going to contain because any leftover residue or impurities on the flask could contaminate the alkali solution, affecting the accuracy of the experiment or leading to unwanted reactions. Washing the flask with the solution beforehand would also dilute the solution and affect the concentration needed for the experiment.


How would you obtain an alkali from a base?

An alkali can be obtained from a base by adding water to the base. The resulting solution will have a pH greater than 7, indicating the presence of an alkali. Examples include sodium hydroxide (base) forming sodium hydroxide solution (alkali) when dissolved in water.


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 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.


What alkali will turn litmus paper into blue?

Every alkali solution above 7 pH at 298 K would turn red litmus into blue.


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 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.


How would you produce a neutral salt solution from an acid and an alkali?

NaOH + HCl >> NaCl + H2O Table salt produced.


Protons and neutrons added together is what?

A proton and a neutron added together would be Deuterium without an electron.
