How do you neutralise acid rain in soil?
Add a base/alkali such as calcium carbonate (limestone) to the soil which will neutralise the acidity.
How can you neutralize an acid or a base?
To neutralise an acid you add the equivalent amount of base/ alkali. And for a base/ alkali you add an acid. The reaction that takes place is exothermic, when the temperature stops rising and starts to decrease you know the neutralisation has taken place.
How can an acid be neutralised?
By reacting with either, an alkali, base, metal or carbonate.
How does salt neutralise?
I'm assuming you mean a salt neutralising an acid or base- This can not actually happen, because a salt is already 'Neutralised' An acid can neutralise a base, and a base neutralise an acid, but when Base+Acid reacts, a salt is formed. Adding a salt to a acid or base solution will only make it salty.
What alkali does bleach contain?
An alkali is a soluble base. Therefore, alkaline solutions are sources of hydroxide ions, OH- . A base is a proton acceptor, so the alkaline solution will neutralise an acid.

Acid - base neutralization reactions commonly occur in the human body producing what?
They can benefit the body. For example, you can take an indigestion tablet (alkali) to neutralise the acid in your stomach if you have too much. Also, by brushing your teeth you neutralise the acid in your mouth.
What happens when you add a acid into a base?
They neutralise each other, assuming you neutralise a volume of acid with a base of the same molarity they completely cancel each other out leaving water and a salt. The salt differs depending on the acid and base used.
Is indigestion powder a alkali or an acid?
Its an alkali or a base that is required to neutralise the acid in the stomach. The acid on the stomach is the primary cause of the burning sensation. Nick A.Toon

How do you neutralise acid?
by mixing it with base

What happens when you take a antacid tablet?
it contains a base (alkali) and so helps to neutralise excess stomach acid.
What are two substances that can be mixed to neutralized each other?
an acid and a base. also-chemical opposites, for eg. acids and alkalis
How do you neutralise a concentrated acid?
by the addition of base
