Acid and base when mixed in equal concentration neutralize each other.So if the water has both in equal concentration the water will not show the properties of the acid or the base.if any one i.e. acid or base is higher in concentration than the other the water will show its properties.

Sodium hypochlorite- acid or base?

Sodium hypochlorite is a base. It is the conjugate base of the acid hypochrous acid. Meaning, it's the product when hypochlorous acid, HClO, reacts with a base, such as NaOH. The conjugate base of a weak acid is generally a strong base, as in this case. Sodium hypochlorite is the main ingredient in bleach, a strong base.


What are the main differences between a double displacement reaction and an acid-base reaction?

In a double displacement reaction, ions exchange between two compounds to form new compounds. In an acid-base reaction, an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water. Double displacement reactions usually involve two ionic compounds switching partners, whereas acid-base reactions involve the transfer of protons (H+) from the acid to the base.

Why you usually add base to acid in titration and not acid to base?

cause the base will react with SiO2 which is the main component of the glass in the rotational site and produre some adhered substustance, then your titrant will be block.


Is purell acid or base?

Acid, it's main ingredient is an alcohol which will contribute H+ to the solution


What is the matter of vinigar?

Vinegar is an aqueous solution of acetic acid and water. Its main component is acetic acid, which gives vinegar its sour taste and characteristic smell. Vinegar is commonly used in cooking, cleaning, and pickling due to its acidic properties.


Are Tums an acid or a base?

Tums is a base. because if it was an acid , it wouldn;t help acid reflux. Tums is not an acid or a base, its main ingredient, calcium carbonate is a salt. The calcium carbonate reacts with the hydrochloric acid in your stomach to form Calcium Chloride, water and Carbon Dioxide gas. 2(HCl) + CaCO3 --> CACl2 + H2O + CO2

The main ingredient in vinegar is acetic acid (HC2H3O2), which is a weak acid.


How can you convert acetic acid in to vinegar?

There is no need to. Acetic acid, along with water is the main component of vinegar


What is the equation for a neutralisation reaction?

use the formula for enthalpy change for the reaction of an acid and base to produce 1mol of water. dH=mc(dT)/n where H = enthalpy m = mass of system c = specific heat capacity of system T = temperature of system n = number of moles reacted


What are the 2 products formed in a neutralisation reaction?

Salt and water. =) A neutraliZation reaction is when you mix an acid and a base/alkali. They neutralize each other and water and salt are produced. A good example of this: NaOH = Sodium hydroxide (lye) is our base HCl = Hydrochloric acid is.. well, our acid NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O NaCl = Sodium chloride (salt) H2O = Water Why this happens: The different ions are positively or negatively charged and will bond accordingly to become neutral compounds. Here is a simplified breakdown.. Na(+) OH(-1) + H(+) Cl(-) = NaCl + H2O
