What is meant by the neutralization of an acid with a base?
An acid base neutralization is not a substance as stated before but a reaction between acid molecules (or the protons from it) and a base compound (or basic ion in it). The products formed are normally a salt and water.Example:HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O
Why does urine have an acidic pH?
Urine has an acidic pH because it contains waste products like uric acid and ammonia that make it more acidic.
In a reaction of an acid with a base the pH changes to a value that is closer to what?
In a reaction of an acid with a base, the pH changes to a value that is closer to 7, which is considered neutral. This occurs because the acid and base neutralize each other's effects on pH, resulting in a solution that is neither acidic nor basic.
What is the difference between strength and concentration in terms of an acid or base?
Strength: how strong the bonds between the elements in the acid are. (the stronger the bonds the harder it is for the hydrogen ions to dissociate (break away) from the acid. Concentration: moles per liter. if there's a lot of the acid in a small amount of space there's a high concentration. just because the concentration is high, that doesn't mean the acid wouldn't easily break up.
Is starch an acid or base?
i believe Starch is a base, or it can be neutral as well.
Is quinine an acid?
It is a weak base, not an acid. No wonder its excretion is improved by acidification of urine
Is Urine a acid base or neutral?
Urine is definitly an acid. Vunerable elements do react to Urine. The average urine takes the coloring of (yellow.) Depending on the person, the potency of the acid varies. The average strength is a bit above Vinegar.
Is Urine base acid or Neutral?
Urine contains uric acid and hence, is acidic.
What is in tonic water quinine?
It is a weak base, not an acid. No wonder its excretion is improved by acidification of urine
Is dog urine an acid?
Everybodies urine is an acid. That's why it comes out of you.
Baking powder to remove cat urine if no baking soda available?
Baking soda does not help with removing the smell of cat urine, because both are basic/alkaline. Baking powder has both an acid and a base so is not helpful as these cancel out each other and you need more acid to cancel out the urine's alkalinity.Vinegar or Cream of Tartar are more useful on urine smells as their acid reacts with the alkaliner of the urine to neutralise it.
What substance would appear in the urine in alkalosis?
In alkalosis, bicarbonate (HCO3-) may be increased in the urine as the kidneys attempt to excrete excess bicarbonate to help restore acid-base balance. Additionally, potassium (K+) may also be excreted in the urine in alkalosis due to the shift of hydrogen ions into the cells in an attempt to correct the acid-base imbalance.
Why is urine slightly acidic?
Urine is slightly acidic due to the presence of waste products such as urea and uric acid. These waste products are generated from the breakdown of proteins in the body and contribute to the overall acidity of urine. The kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining the body's acid-base balance by regulating the concentration of these waste products in urine.
Is human urine an acid or base?
Normally human urine has a pH of about 6 which makes it an acid. However if something is not right the pH of urine can be higher or lower which could make the urine basic but this is not normal.
Is phosphoric acid in horse urine?
Horse urine does contain phosphoric acid, as it is a waste product excreted by the body. However, the amount of phosphoric acid in horse urine can vary depending on factors such as diet and hydration.
What can you find with acid in?
What kind of acid? Urine is an example
What does the presence of NH4 in the urine indicates which of the kidneys function?
The presence of NH4 (ammonium) in the urine can indicate the functioning of the kidneys' ability to regulate acid-base balance. Ammonium is produced in the kidneys as a way to excrete excess hydrogen ions and maintain the body's pH balance. Monitoring ammonium levels in the urine can provide insight into kidney function related to acid-base regulation.
