Best Answer

Conduct the experiment in two insulated beakers and insert a thermometer in both. To each separate beaker add the same substance, for example, limestone and then add vinegar to one beaker and a strong acid such as HCl to the other. Measure the time and temperature of both. You should see a much greater and quicker rise in temperature with the strong acid.

take a blue litmus paper and place it in your reaction. If it turns red, you got yourself an acid!

What is the reaction for HClaq and BaOHaq?

Since HCl is a strong acid and Ba(OH)2 is a strong base, the reaction that takes place is a simple neutralization reaction. The reaction is represented by the net ionic equation: H+(aq) + OH-(aq) ---> H2O This is the equation whenever any strong acid and strong base react.


Is soaking an egg in vinegar a chemical change to the egg?

When an egg is soaked in vinegar the vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate of the shell by breaking it down into its simplest forms. (Calcium and carbon dioxide.) Therefore causing a chemical change.


Why does the homemade volcano erupt?

Homemade volcanoes are made from vinegar and baking soda. It "erupts" because as the vinegar and baking soda come into contact with each other, a chemical reaction takes place which causes it to fizz.


When nacl and hcl combine is this a neutralization reaction?

HCl or hydrochloric acid will react with NaOH (sodium hydroxide) in a netralisation reaction. HCl is a strong acid and NaOH is a strong base or alkalai. The resultant solution will be warm/hot due to the exothermic reaction taking place. This is an aggressive reaction if the materials are concentrated. HCl + NaOH --> H2O + NaCl


How do you clean dishwasher with white vinegar?

Vinegar is acidic and will attack limescale. White vinegar is therefore useful to descale a kettle in hard water areas in preference to expensive chemicals. It is also less harmful should you drink any and has a strong taste so you can tell it has been washed out. It will react more vigorously when hot so be careful when boiling the kettle with too strong a solution in it. Similarly for dishwashers use neat on scaled areas but rinse well and do not leave on for too long without testing a small area first. When reaction with limescale takes place gas is produced so don't heat up in sealed containers.
