When an acid and an alkali react it is called combustion?
No. Acid + alkali reactions are neutralisation reactions. Combustion is a reaction with oxygen.
If you react an acid and an alkali what new substance is produced?
An Alkali is also a base. So, when reacted with an acid forms a salt and water as products
When an acid and an alkali react what is the pH?
If they react until neutral then the pH will be 7. However, if there is an excess of acid the pH will be <7 and vice versa.
What does the reaction of hydrogen chloride and sodium hydroxide produce?
hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide --> sodium chloride + waterHCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2ONeutralisationAcids and alkalis react with each other. The alkali cancels out the acid in the reaction. This is called neutralisation. A salt is made. The salt contains the metal atom from the alkali, and part of the acid molecule. The salt made depends on the acid and alkali used.
What is the name of the reaction when an acid reacts with alkali to form a salt?
acid + alkali = salt + water.Acids are proton donors, they donate a H+ (aq) ion (a hydrogen ion). Acids have pH values of less than 7.Alkalis are proton acceptors, they donate a -OH (aq) ion (a hydroxide ion). Alkalis have a pH value of above 7.They react together to make a neutralisation reaction.The pH scale is a numerical scale from approximately 0 to 14 which measures how strong an acid or an alkali is.If you use hydrochloric acid you will form a chloride salt.If you use sulphuric acid you will form a sulphate salt.If you use nitric acid you will form a nitrate salt.For example:hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide = sodium chloride + waterIf you react an acid and an alkali you always get a salt + water.An alkali is NOT THE OPPOSITE OF AN ACID!!! The opposite of an acid is called a BASE. An alkali is a base that is soluble in water (e.g. sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, ammonia)Neutralization.
What happens when an acid and a base react with each other?
They react and cancel each other out. The process is called neutralization and it causes them to cancel out.
What happen when a acid and a base react with each other?
They react and cancel each other out. The process is called neutralization and it causes them to cancel out.
Elements that can react with acid and alkali?
Elements that can react with acid and alkali are called amphoteric eg. Zn, Al, etc.
What is the reaction called when you react an acid and alkali together?
When an acid and a base or an alkali react they form corresponding salt and water.
Which would cancel out battery acid more acid or water or alkali?
Alkali, of course. 2NaOH + H2SO4 -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O
Does alkali react with acid?
Yes I believe it does.
How does a alkali tablet react with stomach acid?
Stomach acid oviasly cantains acid so when acid and alkali are mixed neutralasation happens.
When an acid and an alkali react it is called combustion?
No. Acid + alkali reactions are neutralisation reactions. Combustion is a reaction with oxygen.
What do you call the two chemicals that react together in antacid tablets?
Calcium Hydroxide (Alkali in the stomach) and Gastric Acid (in the stomach)
When an acid reacts to an alkali is the compound neutralisation?
The process of equalising the concentrations of OH- and H3O+ in an aqueous solution by reacting an acid and an alkali together, via the reaction OH- + H3O+ ---> 2H2O.
When an acid and an alkali react it is called what?
The products are a salt and water.
What is used to cancel out an acid and alkali?
you mix them up and see what colour it goes
