To neutralize an alkali, you can add an acid to it. The acid will balance out the pH level by reacting with the alkali. Common acids used for neutralization include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and acetic acid.

How do you neutralize a acid or alkali?

To neutralize an acid, you can add a base. For example, mixing vinegar (an acid) with baking soda (a base) creates carbon dioxide gas and water. To neutralize an alkali, you can add an acid. For instance, mixing a solution of sodium hydroxide (an alkali) with hydrochloric acid would form water and a salt.

Is an alkali an acid?

NO!!!! Definitely not!!!! forms an alkali. An Alkali is a soluble base. . A base is a metal oxide. So any metal oxide that dissolves in water The symbol for acids is ' H^(+)'. The symbol of alkali is ; OH^(-) '. Acids are in the pH scale of 0 - 6 Alkalis are in the pH scale of 8-14. When you combine an acid with an alkali the product is water. H^(+) + OH^(-) = H2O ; pH = 7.


Does an alkali substance neutralize an acid?

no it doesn't, it simply just turns it into an indicator and has not neutralised it.


What do acid and alkali make?

When reacting an acid with an alkali , the products are a (chemical) salt and water. Here are the general acid reaction equations. Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble 'Base'. Here are some examples. Hydrochloric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide = Sodium Chloride + Water HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O Sulphuric Acid + Calcium Oxide = Calcium Sulphate + Water H2SO4 + CaO = CaSO4 + H2O Nitric Acid + iron = Iron nitrate + Hydrogen 2HNO3 + Fe = Fe(NO3)2 + H2 Phosphoric Acid + Magnesium Carbonate = Magnesium phosphate m water and carbon dioxicde. 2H3PO4 + 3MgCO3 = Mg3(PO4)2 + 3H2O + 3CO2
