They react and cancel each other out. The process is called neutralization and it causes them to cancel out.

What happens when you react an insoluble base with an acid?

When you react an insoluble base with an acid, a neutralization reaction occurs, producing salt and water. The insoluble base will typically react with the acid to form a salt and, depending on the solubility of the salt, it may precipitate out of the solution.


What happens when acid and base react?

salt and water are produced, usually with a release of heat.

How so acid base buffer systems minimize pH changes?

Buffers contain both one weak acid and its coupled weak base, that can not react with each other (they are a so-called conjugated system). When you add strong acid it will react with the base part of this buffer, when strong base (hydroxide) is added it will react with the acid.


What are the products if equal amounts of an acid and a base react?

When equal amounts of an acid and a base react, they neutralize each other to form water and a salt.


What forms when an acid and a base react with each other?

A salt ans usually water.


What happens when you put magnesium in a base?

Magnesium does not seem to react with dilute aqueous alkalis or bases. However, it does react with acids like sulfuric acid by dissolving in it.


Will the base NH3 base react with an acid?

Yes, NH3 can react with an acid to form an ammonium salt. NH3 acts as a base by accepting a proton from the acid to form NH4+ (ammonium ion). This reaction is called an acid-base reaction.


When you combine and acid an base what is formed?

When an acid and a base are combined, they react to form water and a salt. This reaction is known as neutralization, where the acidic properties of the acid and the basic properties of the base are neutralized by each other.


Do weak acids require more base than strong acid?

Yes, weak acids require more base to neutralize because they do not fully dissociate in solution, resulting in fewer available acid molecules to react with the base. Strong acids, on the other hand, fully dissociate in solution, providing more acid molecules to react with the base.
