Strong acids are strongly acidic. Strong alkalies are strongly alkaline. And both strong acids and strong alkalies are equally corrosive, though I would say that strong acids and more dangerous to handle than strong alkali.

What is the pH scale of the strongest Alkali?

The strength of an acid and alkali is shown using the pH scale which goes from 0 to 14 . pH number of acid is less than 7. and pH number of alkali is greater than 7. that's why the smaller the number the stronger the acid and the larger the number the stronger the alkali. so pH of weak acid is 6 and pH of strong alkali is 14 because if the smaller number shows the stronger acid, the larger number shows the weaker acid. And as larger number shows strong alkali, the pH scale is from 0 to 14; so 14 shows stronger alkali.


Is alkali stronger than acid?

Alkalis are typically considered to be strong bases, which can be equally or more corrosive and harmful than acids. The strength of an alkali or acid is determined by its pH level and concentration.


How can you describe the way the pH changes when a strong acid is added slowly to a strong alkali?

As a strong acid is added slowly to a strong alkali, the pH will gradually decrease due to the neutralization reaction. Initially, the pH will increase as the alkali is added, then start to decrease as the acid is added until it reaches a neutral pH of 7 when the acid and alkali are fully neutralized.


What is the stronger acid hydrochloric or sodium hydroxide?

Hydrochloric acid is stronger than sodium hydroxide. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that completely dissociates in water to release hydrogen ions, while sodium hydroxide is a strong base that dissociates to release hydroxide ions. In a neutralization reaction between the two, the acid would donate a proton to the base to form water and a salt.


How could you safely determine if a base is stronger than an acid?

Use an electronic pH meter. If an acid registers '3' on a pH meter and an alkali registers '13' on a pH meter, then the alkali is the stronger. Because the acid has 'two' steps to because the strongest acid at pH = 1 , but the alkali has only 'one' step to become the strongest alkali at pH = 14. 1 - 14 are the limits of the pH scale.

What is the reaction when you add acids and alkali's?

you create a neutral solution -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well it depends actually it doesn't always create a neutral solution. Here's the order: Strong Alkali + Strong Acid = Neutralisation (water + salt) Strong Alkali + Weak Acid = Weak Alkali Weak Alkali + Weak Acid = Neutralisation ( water + salt) Weak Alkali + Strong Acid = Weak Acid Strong Alkali + Strong Acid = Neutralisation (water + salt) Hope it helps! :)

How can hydrochloric acid be neutralized?

By adding an equally strong alkali


Does soap contain a weak acid or a strong alkali?

A soap contains a strong alkali,because it produces OH- ions in the water.


Is The conjugate acid of a strong base stronger acid than water?

No, the conjugate acid of most strong bases is water.


What colour would a UI be in strong acid?

The answer is...RED!!!!Strong Alkali is DARK BLUE!!!


Why are indegestion tablets an alkali?

because your body naturally produces acids which can burn your thought so the alkali neutralises the acid to make it not a strong acid
