What happens When acid is added to a solution of pH 7?
Your stomach fluid would be neutral (neither acidic nor basic) and you would have extreme difficulty in digesting food.
Aqueous solution of gaseous HCl is acidic but solution of HCl gas in benzene has no acidic property?
In an aqueous solution of gaseous HCl, the HCl molecules dissociate into H+ and Cl- ions, which react with water to form H3O+ ions, resulting in an acidic solution. In benzene, which is a nonpolar solvent, the HCl molecules do not dissociate into ions due to the absence of water molecules to facilitate the ionization process, so the solution does not exhibit acidic properties.
What happens if too little acid is added to an alkali?
If too little acid is added to an alkali, the resulting solution may not reach the desired neutral pH level. This could lead to the solution remaining basic or alkaline.
When neutral litmus solution is added to alkaline solution?
It turn purple-blue.
As an acidic solution is added to a basic solution the pH of the basic solution decreases?
Yes, from above 7 to below 7
What happens with a stong acid is added to a base?
The acid and base will neutralize each other and the resulting solution will be more neutral. If the base being neutralized is strong, the resulting salt will be neutral. If the base is weak the resulting salt will be acidic. A solution of such a salt may be called a buffer.
What is the solution called when a acid is added to alkali?
The solution could be neutral, acidic or basic depending on the concentration or the volume of the acid or alkali used.
How will Phenolphthalein help you test for unknown substances?
phenolphthalein turns pink when basic solution is added to it but remains colorless in case of neutral and acidic solution

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.
Is NH3 acidic neutral or basic?
NH3 is a weak base. It can accept a proton (H+) from water to form NH4+ and OH-. This reaction results in an increase in hydroxide ions and shift the pH towards the basic end of the scale.
Is a teaspoon of lemon juice more acidic than an 8 oz glass of water with a teaspoon of lemon juice added?
Yes it is. The pH of water is neutral or 7, and lemon juice is a very low 1 or 2. With the water, the resulting pH is more neutral and less acidic than lemon juice alone.
When neutral litmus solution is added to alkaline solution?
It turn purple-blue.
As an acidic solution is added to a basic solution the pH of the basic solution decreases?
Yes, from above 7 to below 7
What is formed when an acid is added to a base or alkaline solution?
a neutral
How do you make a neutral solution?
What determines if a solution is neutral is the ions present in solution. Something can be acidic, basic, or neutral. A typical acidic solution has H+ present in solution. An example of this is hydrochloric acid (HCl), which is a very strong acid. A typical basic solution has hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution. An example of this is NaOH. A neutral solution has ions that exhibit no acid/base properties. One of these is sodium chloride (NaCl). Group 1 ions do not exhibit any acid base properties, such as Na+. The conjugate bases of strong acids and the conjugate acids of strong bases also do not exhibit acid and base qualities. Cl- is the conjugate base of the strong acid HCl. There for a solution of NaCl is neutral or a pH of 7. So what determines if a solution is neutral are the ions present in solution. Group 1 ions are always neutral. Some other ions that are always neutral are Cl-, I-, Br-, and SO42- . These are all conjugate bases of strong acids.
