A chemical reaction.

Acid + alkali = salt + water

eg H2SO4 + 2NaOH = Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Sulfuric acid + Sodium Hydroxide = Sodium Sulfate + water

Whan as acid meets an alkali they create a chemical reaction. If there is an acid and you add a weak alkali you should bring it down to neutral.

What happens whey you add acid to alkali the pH solution gets?

When you add an alkali and acid what happens?

When an alkali (base) and an acid are mixed, they undergo a neutralization reaction where the hydrogen ions from the acid combine with the hydroxide ions from the alkali to form water. This reaction produces a salt as a byproduct. The result is a solution that is closer to neutral pH.


What happens if you keep adding acid to an alkali?

It will neutralise the alkali and then turn the liquid to an acid.

How do you neutralize a acid or alkali?

To neutralize an acid, you can add a base. For example, mixing vinegar (an acid) with baking soda (a base) creates carbon dioxide gas and water. To neutralize an alkali, you can add an acid. For instance, mixing a solution of sodium hydroxide (an alkali) with hydrochloric acid would form water and a salt.


What happens when an acid reacts chemically with an alkali?

What happens is that first if you put an acid indicator and a sulphuric acid it will turn red but if you add another solution it will turn a different colour. and if you add acid and alkali together then it will turn into salt and H2O xxx


What does neutrilise mean?

In acid-base reactions, neutralizing is when you add exactly enough chemical to bring the total solution pH to 7. If you have acid you put alkali in it; for alkali you add acid.


How do you neutralize drain cleaner?
