because the base cancels the acid out and the acid cancels the base out to make a more neutral solution

When acids and bases are mixed they what each other?
Acids have a pH from 7 to 0 and bases have a pH for 7-14. Water is neutral with a pH of 7. If an equal strength acid and base are mixed together they cancel each out out.
How are acids and bases described in the pH scale?
Acids and bases are described in the pH scale based on their strength. For instance,lactic acid has pH 6,but curd,obtained from milk itself has pH 3! HCl is called as the "king of acids" with pH 1. {on the pH scale,if any substance has pH 7, its considered acidic, while anything above 7 is basic.} Acids or Bases can be considered as acidic or basic by the colour changes in the pH scale{eg:red to orange[neutral]to violet}.
What pH level do you expect for sulfur based acids?
Very low pH
Weak acids or bases that prevent sudden changes in pH?
Buffers
A solution that resists changes in pH when limtied amounts of acids or bases are added?
chemical buffer

A measure of acidity is called neutralization?
Acidity is measured by pH. Acids have a pH below 7.0 (pH of 7.0 being neutral). The lower the pH, the more acidic the substance. When acids and bases are mixed, neutralization occurs.
Weak acids or bases that prevent sudden changes in pH?
Buffers
Is it true buffers are weak acids or bases that can react with strong acids or bases to prevent sudden changes in pH?
TURE
What is the purpose of bromothymel blue?
Bromothymol blue, also known as bromothymol sulfone phthalein, is a pH indicator for weak acids and bases. It changes color when the pH changes.
Why is a indicator's reaction in acids and bases a chemical change?
Indicates whether the substance is an acid or alkali.
What is the process where acids and bases mixed to form pH that is neutral?
This process is called as neutralization of an acid and a base.
A solution that resists changes in pH when limtied amounts of acids or bases are added?
chemical buffer
PH effect on enzymes?
A change in pH can alter the ionization of the R groups of the amino acids. When the charges on the amino acids change, hydrogen bonding within the protein molecule changes and the molecule changes shape. The new shape therefore may not be effective
