This reaction is called neutralization; the products are a salt and water.
when a base is mixed with an acidic solution why does neutralization occurs?
Ammonia reacts with acids forming ammonium salts but also can donate a proton, as an acid.
A Salt.
In a neutralization reaction an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water.
Water can act as both an acid and a base according to the Arrhenius theory. In pure form, water can ionize to produce H+ ions (acting as an acid) and OH- ions (acting as a base).
A base will react with an acid.
Salt
Ammonia NH3 behaves as a base when it reacts with an acid because it accepts a proton and becomes NH4+.
when a base is mixed with an acidic solution why does neutralization occurs?
An acid-base reaction is neutralisation. The products are a neutral salt and water.
When a strong base reacts with a weak acid, the base will completely neutralize the acid, forming water and a salt as the products of the reaction. This process is known as a neutralization reaction.
the reaction which takes place when an acid reacts with a base is called neutralization reaction. For instance,if HCl reacts with NaOH, the products are NaCl and water. Neutralizing an acid with a base would always give salt and water as the only products.
It's really neither cuz it reacts with an acid and a base but i would probably say.... Acid
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
Fundamentally: acid + base --> a salt + water However, other acid base reactions exist: ex. acid + base --> conjugate base (loses a H) + conjugate acid (gains a H)
Acid + Base -> Salt + Water
When an acid reacts with a base, the products formed are water and a salt. The hydrogen ion (H+) from the acid combines with the hydroxide ion (OH-) from the base to form water (H2O), while the remaining ions combine to form a salt.
