What else can I help you with?
Is saliva an acid or an alkali?
Saliva is slightly acidic, with a pH ranging from about 6.2 to 7.4. It contains enzymes that help break down food and initiate the digestion process in the mouth.
What is an acid neutralized by?
An Acid is neutralised by a Base , Alkali or Carboinate. Remember the general equations. Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.
What happens to the pH when an alkali is added to a acid?
When an alkali is added to an acid, the pH increases as the acid is neutralized by the base. This reaction forms water and a salt. The pH ultimately depends on the strength of the acid and the alkali.
What is the reaction called when you react an acid and alkali together?
When an acid and a base or an alkali react they form corresponding salt and water.
What is the general equation for a acid-base reaction?
Here are the four general acid reactions. Acid + Base = Salr + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soliuble base.
Which would have a greater depressing action on the enzyme in saliva acid or alkali?
acid
Is a metal acid or alkali?
A metal is a base and is an alkali
Is alkali is a base?
Yes. noun -> adjective acid -> acidic base -> alkali
Is saliva an acid or an alkali?
Saliva is slightly acidic, with a pH ranging from about 6.2 to 7.4. It contains enzymes that help break down food and initiate the digestion process in the mouth.
Is saliva an acid or base?
The saliva is basic; the pH is 7,1-7,5.
Must it be a acid or alkali base for reaction to occur?
An acid and an alkali/base takes place in a neutralization reaction. For reactions such as redox, precipitation etc. an acid or a base might not take place.
What is an acid neutralized by?
An Acid is neutralised by a Base , Alkali or Carboinate. Remember the general equations. Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.
Is saliva before meal acid or base or neutral?
base
Is bleach acid?
No, it's a base.
If you react an acid and an alkali what new substance is produced?
An Alkali is also a base. So, when reacted with an acid forms a salt and water as products
When an acid and an alkali or a base neutralise each other what product is formed?
When an acid and an alkali or base neutralize each other, they form water and a salt. This process is known as neutralization. The resulting salt is composed of the positive ion from the alkali or base and the negative ion from the acid.
Is sodium hydrodgencarbonate an alkali or acid?
It is generally regarded as a base (alkali) but technically it is amphoteric, meaning it can act as either an acid or a base depending on the chemical scenario.
