How do you neutralize the distilled water if it is acidic?
the theoretical ph of distilled water is 7.0, in practice, however, most distilled water will have a ph is slightly acidic (less than 7.0) due to the presence of carbon dioxide (co2) that is absorbed from the atmosphere dissolved carbon dioxide reacts slowly with water to give the bicarbonate and hydronium ions......

What happens when water reacts with an acid?
An "Acid's" reaction with water is what makes it an acid, before this, it was a normal compound. For example, Carbon Dioxide dissolved in water becomes Carbonic acid. This is because Acids are proton donors, and give their H+ ions to water, creating H3O+ molecules.
Which gas is usually liberated when an acid reacts with a metal. Illustrate with example. How will you test for the presence of this gas?
Carbon dioxide Example: All metal carbonates and hydrogencarbonates react with acids to give a corresponding salt, carbon dioxide and water.
What is the exothermic chemical reaction for lithium and water?
Lithium gradually reacts with water to give off hydrogen
Can you Give me name of two pollutants found in air which make rain-water more acidic?
salt makes it more acidic
Is sulfur oxide acidic?
Yes, both sulfur oxides are acidic: with water the give sulfurous (weak -) and sulfuric (strong -) acids
What part of an acids chemical formula is responsible for its acidic properties?
Hydrogen ions give acids their acidic properties.
Is nitrogen dioxide acidic or basic?
The actual element nitrogen is neither acidic nor alkaline.
Why sodium bicarbonate reacts with acids produces carbon dioxide?
H2CO3 is formed first, which is unstable and decomposes to give CO2 and water.
Is chlorine oxide basic or acidic?
Yes, both sulfur oxides are acidic: with water they give sulfurous (weak -) and sulfuric (strong -) acids
How do hydrogen ions give acidic character to acids?
Acids are proton donors. Since protons are H+ ions, an acid must have a proton to give away.
Why rain is naturally acidic?
The hydrologic cycle involves a process of natural water distillation; essentially, rain water is distilled water, and distilled water is naturally acidic usually with a pH slightly less than 7 since it absorbs carbon dioxide which reacts slowly with water to give the bicarbonate and hydronium ions.
Is CO2 a acid base salt?
acids dissolve in water to give H+ ions and the anion, where the H+ ions give the acid its properties since CO4 does hav H+ ions in it, it is definitely not an acid not all compounds containing H+ ions are acids though
What acid responsible for the sour taste of grapefruit lemons and oranges is?
lemon & oranges are acidic in nature b/c when they dissolve in water they give hydrogen ion
All acids ionise in water to give?
All Arrhenius acids ionize in water to give H+ ions. While Lewis acids are proton donors.

What is one way sodium and chlorine are different?
A chemical difference is that sodium reacts with water to make an alkali, and chlorine plus water give acids. A physical difference is that sodium is a solid at room temperature and chlorine is a gas.
