All the metals of ist A and 2nd A groups of Periodic Table when react with water form strong bases or alkaline solution however elements of ist A are more reactive towards water and form alkalies as Sodium forms sodium hydroxide.

When solutions of an acid and a base are reacted the products are a A new acid and a new base b A salt and water c A metal oxide and water d A nonmetal oxide and water?

b) A salt and water. When an acid and a base react, they form water and a salt as products.


What happen when base react with non metal oxide-?

The Metal hydroxides are strong base, therefore metal hydroxide decomposes on heating to form metal oxide and water.


What happens to the concentration of hydrogen ions when an acid and a base are reacted?

The concentration of hydrogen ions decreases as they react with hydroxide ions from the base to form water molecules.


What would you use to test if a metal has reacted with hydrochloric acid?

The metal would most likely form a metal salt.


Are metal oxides neutral?

Metal oxides can be basic, acidic, or amphoteric depending on the metal and the oxidation state of the metal ion. Basic metal oxides react with acid to form a salt and water, while acidic metal oxides react with base to form a salt and water. Amphoteric metal oxides can act as both an acid and a base depending on the reaction conditions.


Why carbonic acid gives acid salt but hydrochloric acid does not?

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid, and when reacted with a strong base will give a neutral salt. When reacted with a weak base it will give an acid salt. Example, HCl + NH3 => NH4Cl.Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is a weak acid and is actually CO2 + H2O. When reacted with a strong base, it will give an alkaline salt and when reacted with a weak base will give a solution the pH of which will depend on the Kb and Ka of the reactants.


What happens when an acid and a base neutralize one another what is left over?

When an acid and a base neutralize each other, they form water and a salt. The salt formed will depend on the specific acid and base that reacted.


Acid and base neutralise to form?

A salt and water and if the base is a metal carbonate, carbon dioxide is also formed


What metal plus base?

When a metal reacts with a base, it can form a salt and hydrogen gas. The metal hydroxide is typically formed when a metal reacts with a base, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The metal hydroxide is soluble in water and will produce a basic solution.


Is Sodium Hydroxide Basic?

The easiest way of remembering whether something is a base is by remembering: "A base is a metal oxide, metal hydroxide, or ammonia." Sodium Hydroxide comes under the metal hydroxide category, so yes, it is a base.


If you react an acid and an alkali what new substance is produced?

An Alkali is also a base. So, when reacted with an acid forms a salt and water as products


Is magnesium a metal or a non-metal when it has reacted with oxygen?

Magnesium is a metal when it reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. Magnesium is a metal element, and when it undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen, it forms an ionic compound (magnesium oxide) where magnesium has a positive charge.
