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.

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 alkali react to cancel each other out you call it a?
neutralization
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 is the acid and alkali used in making ammonium sulphate?
Nitric Acid is used to make Ammonium Nitrate
What is the difference between and acid and an alkali?
an alkali is much stronger than an acid because an acid has a PH of 1 and an alkali has a PH of 14.
What is the difference between an acid and an alkali?
an acid has a pH under 7 an alkali has a pH over 7
How do you know pH 11 is acid?
pH 11 is an alkali not an acid
The two chemicals that react together in antacid tablets?
Some substance with a basic pH to counteract the pH of the acid in your stomach.
Is Borax a acid or alkali?
Borax is an alkali. it has a pH of 9.2
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.
When an acid is neutralised by an alkali the pH decreases.?
No, the pH increases.
What is the pH scale of the strongest Alkali?
The strength of an acid and alkali is shown using the pH scale which goes from 0 to 14 . pH number of acid is less than 7. and pH number of alkali is greater than 7. that's why the smaller the number the stronger the acid and the larger the number the stronger the alkali. so pH of weak acid is 6 and pH of strong alkali is 14 because if the smaller number shows the stronger acid, the larger number shows the weaker acid. And as larger number shows strong alkali, the pH scale is from 0 to 14; so 14 shows stronger alkali.
What is alkalis acid?
Alkali isn't an acid. Alkali and acid are terms used when the pH of a substance is a certain number, for example if a substance has a pH of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, then the substance is an acid. If the pH is 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15, then the substance is an alkali.
What can show an acid and what is an alkali?
pH tests
Will the pH change when an alkali is added to an acid?
Yes. The pH will increase.
