A neutralization reaction.

Also, in the process used to find unknown masses of acids or bases called titration.

How do you neutralise acid?

by mixing it with base


What does mixing in acid with a base give you?

When mixing an acid and a base you will get a salt and water solution (But this is not the normal water that you would drink or, the normal salt you would put on your chips) . Here is the word equation; acid+ base= salt+ water.

Can salt be made by mixing a base and acid?

When mixing an acid and a base and water are produced.?

The product of this reaction is a salt.


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.


Is the mixing of a weak acid with a strong base an endothermic or exothermic reaction?

exothermic


Can salts be made by mixing water and a base?

No. Mixing a base with water would merely result in a solution of the base in water. Salts will form, however, from most reactions between an acid and a base.


What does a acid and a base make?

Its simple, an acid + a base = salt Usually there is a fair amount of heat as well. Depending on the molecules in question, there may be gas produced, such as when mixing vinegar and baking soda (which are an acid and base).


What is the answer of process by mixing an acid and a base?

It usually depends on the strenght of the acid and base mixed. If you have a weak acid and a strong based mixed, you have neutralization reaction, in which H+ in acid is being neutralized by OH- in the base. Mixing a weak base and a strong acid does opposite, OH- is nutralized by H+. Usually these reactions are not complete and you have an equilibrium reactions. If both an acid and a base a strong you have a complete reaction in which water and salt are formed.


What happens when mixing a strong acid with a strong base?

It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.


What is a congugate base?

The base which a certain acid turns into.Every acid had a conjugate base:HX (acid) X- (conjugate base)The acid is also called the base's conjugate acid.
