HCl is the chemical formula for hydrogen chloride gas . However, when dissolved in watwer , it is written as 'HCl(aq)' it is then hydrochloric acid.

So HCl is acidic.

What is the symbol equation for acid reacting with alkali?

Example 1: Acid - Hydrochloric acid - HCl Alkali - Sodium Hydroxide - NaOH Acid + Alkali -> Salt + Water HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O Example 2: Acid - Hydrochloric acid - HCl Alkali - Magnesium Hydroxide - Mg(OH)2 Acid + Alkali -> Salt + Water 2HCl + Mg(OH)2 -> MgCl2 + 2H2O


Does an alkali easily neutralize a concentrated acid or a dilute acid?

Alkalies can neutralize both concentrated and dilute acids, but dilute acids are 'more easily' neutralized (i.e. require a smaller amount of alkali for the same amount of acid). It is a simple chemical reaction, the amount of alkali required to neutralize an acid can be calculated if you know how they react and the strengths of the acid and alkali. E.g. if you use Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) to neutralize Hydrochloric acid (HCL) the reaction is: KOH + HCL --) KCL + H2O So one molecule of KOH neutralizes one molecule of HCL If you have 1 molar KOH, then : 10 ml of dilute HCL (0.1 molar strength) will be neutralized by 1 ml of KOH 10 ml of a strong HCL (10 molar strength) will be neutralized by 100 ml of KOH Hope that helps.


What is the balanced equation for potassium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid?

This is an acid + alkali = salt + Water reaction. Hydrochloric Acid + potassium hydroxide = potassium chloride and water. HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) = KCl(aq) + H2O(l)


Which indicator is used in titration of oxalic acid with HCl?

Both HCl and oxalic acid are acids. Therefore, since there is no alkali present, these compounds do not undergo neutralization. So there is no suitable indicators for the addition of these two reagents.

How can you make salts from an acid or an alkali?

Salts are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base; a common example: NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O
