What is produced when you mix an acid and a base?

Answer 1

In most spontaneous chemical reactions some amount of heat is produced.

Another way of saying this is: Reactions occur because the products

are a lower energy (more stable) than the reactants.

Then extra energy is left over in the form of heat in the reaction system.

For acids and bases the products are water and dissolved salt. CO2 (carbon dioxide) is also produced as a gas. which dissipates with the heat, causing fizzing. Try mixing baking soda (calcium bicarbonate) with vinegar (acetic acid) in the kitchen!

These products are particularly stable (low energy) and so a lot of heat it

(is) released to the solvent -- water. If the water reaches 100 degrees

Celsius it will boil -- sometimes violently -- making it appear to have

exploded.

Answer 2

If the pHs equal each other out, they produce a salt and water.

Answer 3

Well, Vinegar is an acid and Baking Soda is a base and when you mix those two you get a Chemical reaction and that is what happens when you mix any acid and base you get a chemical reaction.

Answer 4

When you mix a strong acid and a strong base you produce a salt and water.

Answer 5

The products of a neutralization reaction are water and a salt.

Answer 6

A salt and water.
