A neutralization process take place.It emmits energy as heat,so temperature increase.
Answer:
Neutralization is often exothermic (produces heat) A typical example is is the mixing of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. However endothermic neutralization reactions (the reaction cools the solution) do happen. A simple example is the mixing of baking soda and acetic acid.

What happens if you keep adding acid to an alkali?
It will neutralise the alkali and then turn the liquid to an acid.
What does acid and an alkali together do?
it makes a chemical reaction
How can hydrochloric acid be neutralized?
By adding an equally strong alkali
How do you convert an acid to a base?
Increase the hydroxide concentration in the acid by adding an excess of any alkali solution
How do you neutralize a acid or alkali?
To neutralise an acid add sodium carbonate. 2H^+ + Na2CO3 = 2Na^(+) + H2O + CO2 It forms the salt , water and carbon dioxide. To neutralise an alkali add 'milk'.
Is coca a acid a alkali or neutral?
"As Alkali is not an acid but a substance with which an acid reacts to form salt + water, Yes, cola is an acid." -Previous answer Cola is an acid because of the carbonate ions in the cola itself that makes it acidic, the carbon dioxide is what makes the drink fizz........
What happense to the litmus when toothpaste and an alkali is added?
Litmus paper is neutral and has a PH of 7 o adding an alkali will turn it purple and adding an acid will turn it red-pink.
What is the pH scale of the strongest Alkali?
The strength of an acid and alkali is shown using the pH scale which goes from 0 to 14 . pH number of acid is less than 7. and pH number of alkali is greater than 7. that's why the smaller the number the stronger the acid and the larger the number the stronger the alkali. so pH of weak acid is 6 and pH of strong alkali is 14 because if the smaller number shows the stronger acid, the larger number shows the weaker acid. And as larger number shows strong alkali, the pH scale is from 0 to 14; so 14 shows stronger alkali.
What does adding alkali to acid do to pH?
The solution become more and more alkaline and the pH increase.
How would you get a sample of salt from a neutral acid?
Adding an alkali to an acid solution would result in forming a salt. However, no acid solution can be neutral.
Is an alkali an acid?
No an alkali is the opposite of an acid. Alkali = basic; acid = acidic.
Is a salt and water made when you mix an acid and an alkali?
When an acid and an alkali is combined, salt and water is formed, because the acid and the alkali neutralises each other to leave salt and water only.
