In chemistry, an alkali is a substance whose molecules either can donate (or "lend") a pair of electrons to another chemical substance or accept one or more protons (H+).
An acid is a substance whose molecules can accept (or "borrow") a pair of electrons or donate one or more protons (H+) respectively.
The reaction between an acid and an alkali involves the alkali giving, and the alkali receiving, a pair of electrons so that both are "satisfied". It is in this sense that they are opposites.
A Base. Acids have pH levels of 0-6, Bases have pH levels of 8-14. A pH of 7 is neutral.
acid
Base
The reactivity of acetic acid with various chemical
dilute: hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammmonia
It tastes sour. Other tastes are sweet, bitter and salty. Bitter is alkaline, the opposite of acid in Ph. And salty is the combination of an acid and a base (alkaline), which is a salt.
The main agents of chemical weathering are acid precipatation, lichens, and other plants like mold decaying the rock. :)
The acid lotion perm is one perm that has the strongest chemical. It usually has a PH of between 4 and 6.
The opposite of an acidis a base.
Alkalis
YES Base: pH 14 Neutral: pH 7 Acid: pH 0
The chemical opposite is a base (alkaline substance). Bases and acids generally neutralize each other. The literal opposite of an acid would be a neutral substance that had no reaction potential. This would differ for different reactions.
Chemical property because acid is a chemical
It depends which part of the stong acid concept you are concerned with: A weak acid is the opposite of a "strong" acid A strong base is the opposite of a strong "acid" A neutral solution is the oppposte of a strong acid (a reactive solution)
what is the chemical formula of citric acid? what is the chemical formula of acetic acid? what is the chemical formula of formic acid? what is the chemical formula of Latic acid? what is the chemical formula of oxalic acid? what is the chemical formula of ascorbic acid? what is the chemical formula of tartaric acid?
chemical
The body does produce a chemical called dopamine that helps stress but many times the one that causes the opposite is produced in greater amounts. Besides dopamine, Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) has the opposite effect.
A lime itself contains citric acid, so it is acidic. Base is actually the opposite of acid. Ca(OH)2 is sometimes referred to as lime, and this is basic (the opposite of acid)
Sulphurous acid is not a reaction (chemical or physical); the sulphurous acid (H2SO3) is a chemical compound.
Dodecanoic acid is the chemical name for lauric acid, C12H24O2
