Best Answer

the product of a neutralization reaction have a pH of less than 7

when strong acid e.g HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, neutralized against weak base e.g NH4OH, Zn(OH)2

note : Salts from strong acid and weak base are acidic, The pH less than 7

Does doubling the concentrations of acid and base in a neutralization reaction double the amount of heat released?

theoretically yes. be careful because in an actual experiment some of the heat might be lost to the surroundings so it would be measured as less than double.


What does a very high value of Keq indicate?

That, at equilibrium, the reaction favours a high concentration of product and relatively less reactant.


What color forms when HCl is combined with NaOH?

This is a double displacement reaction. Abstractly, these reactions could be described in the following manner: AB + CD --> AD + BC Therefore, a neutralization reaction would look like this: HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H-OH In other words, a neutralization reaction will always form water and a salt.


Reaction where the products have lower energy than the reactants?

Chemical reaction where the energy content of the products is less than that of the reactants; heat is given out from the system. eg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_reaction * Combustion reactions of fuels * Neutralization reactions such as direct reaction of acid and base * Adding concentrated acid to water * Adding water to anhydrous copper(II) sulfate * The Thermite reaction * Reactions taking place in a self-heating can based on lime and aluminum * The setting of cement and concrete * Many corrosion reactions such as oxidation of metals * Most polymerisation reactions * The Haber-Bosch process of ammonia production


The specific gravity of a product can be found in the MSDS. How do you know if the product will float in water?

If the specific gravity is less than 1, the product will float in water ... unless it dissolves in water or reacts with water, which information might be elsewhere in the SDS.

What chemical reaction can be used to make a liquid less alkaline?

This chemical reaction is called neutralization.

What is true about a solution if the reaction quotient is less than the solubility product constant?

the reaction is at dynamic equilibrium.


In a reaction If the energy of a product is less where does excess the energy go?

It is released as heat and/or light, the reaction is said to be exothermic.


Does the amount of reactant affect the amounts of product?

The more reactant, the faster the reaction The less reactant, the slower the reaction hope that clears it up for you


Is the reaction product sodium chloride more or less stable than the reactants sodium metal and chlorine gas?

The reaction product is much more stable, because the reaction to produce it releases a large amount of chemical potential energy as heat.


What happens to the whole number when you multiply it by a fraction less than one?

Nothing happens to the whole number. But the product is less than the whole number. The product might be another whole number, and it might have a fractional part.


What might happen to make a producer decrease his or her supply of a product.?

Because if the factor price is increased, the producer will have less resources to make their product and will have less products to supply


What is the difference between the predicted and actual yield in a chemical reaction?

The actual yield of a reaction product is always less than the yield from the chemical equation. This is because of error.


What does a very high value of Keq indicate?

What are by-products in microbiology?

A Biproduct or a chemical reaction is a substance(s) that is produced from the reaction. E.g. a product of Photosynthesis is Carbohydrates. a Biproduct is oxygen. Oxygen is not the reason or purpose of the the reaction, yet it is produced non the less as a bi product: 6H2O + 6CO2 ----------> C6H12O6+ 6O2
