When an acid reacts with a base, the pH of the solution will increase. This is because the reaction results in the formation of water and a salt, which increases the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) in the solution, leading to an increase in pH.
The solution become more and more alkaline and the pH increase.
This is an example of an acid-base reaction, where citric acid (acid) reacts with baking soda (base) to produce carbon dioxide gas. The decrease in temperature is due to the release of energy during the reaction.
When a strong base reacts with a weak acid, the base will completely neutralize the acid, forming water and a salt as the products of the reaction. This process is known as a neutralization reaction.
Fundamentally: acid + base --> a salt + water However, other acid base reactions exist: ex. acid + base --> conjugate base (loses a H) + conjugate acid (gains a H)
a base is represented by OH- and an acid is H+ and so when these two are mixed you get H2O so water and salts sometimes
A base will react with an acid.
The solution become more and more alkaline and the pH increase.
Salt
Ammonia NH3 behaves as a base when it reacts with an acid because it accepts a proton and becomes NH4+.
when a base is mixed with an acidic solution why does neutralization occurs?
An acid-base reaction is neutralisation. The products are a neutral salt and water.
This is an example of an acid-base reaction, where citric acid (acid) reacts with baking soda (base) to produce carbon dioxide gas. The decrease in temperature is due to the release of energy during the reaction.
When a strong base reacts with a weak acid, the base will completely neutralize the acid, forming water and a salt as the products of the reaction. This process is known as a neutralization reaction.
the reaction which takes place when an acid reacts with a base is called neutralization reaction. For instance,if HCl reacts with NaOH, the products are NaCl and water. Neutralizing an acid with a base would always give salt and water as the only products.
An acid increase the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
It's really neither cuz it reacts with an acid and a base but i would probably say.... Acid
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
