Carbon dioxide is neither an alkali nor a base. It is actually an oxide of carbon, and in aqueous solutions, it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) by reacting with water.
No, alkali rain is not a natural phenomenon. Rainwater can be slightly acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but it does not contain alkalis like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
Depends on the acid and alkali. But in most cases Hydrogen or Carbon Dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is a compound consisting of carbon and oxygen.
Basically, sulfur dioxide is a acidic gas. As acid reacts with alkali, carbonates and metals, all 3 are actually ideal to remove sulfur dioxide. However, in the context of removing sulfur dioxide due to air pollution, reacting sulfur dioxide with alkali and carbonate would be more appropriate. For example, removing sulfur dioxide with calcium carbonate would result in calcium sulfate, water and carbon dioxide.
Carbon bonds with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2) or carbon monoxide (CO).
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.
An Acid is neutralised by a Base , Alkali or Carboinate. Remember the general equations. Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.
Carbon dioxide is more soluble in sodium hydroxide than water because sodium hydroxide is a stronger base and can react with carbon dioxide to form a soluble compound (sodium bicarbonate). In contrast, water can only dissolve carbon dioxide through weak physical interactions like hydrogen bonding, which results in lower solubility.
The addition of vinegar (and mild acid) to baking soda (a base or alkali) causes a somewhat violent chemical reaction producing carbon dioxide suddenly.
a neutral solution is formed! (Acid + Alkali= salt+water)
Carbon dioxide does not show reactions with acids.
Dissolved carbon dioxide in water (carbonic acid) is weak acid.
You can not test on that, because it is neither acid nor base. it is an 'neutral' gas, hardly soluble in water AND it does NOT react with water! as all acids and bases do. It 'big brother' carbon DIoxide is an acidical (=acid forming) oxide in water.
Water and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are ineffective on alkali metal fires because they can react violently with alkali metals, such as sodium or potassium, and actually make the fire worse. It is recommended to use a Class D fire extinguisher specifically designed for metal fires in this case.
No, alkali rain is not a natural phenomenon. Rainwater can be slightly acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but it does not contain alkalis like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
A base, Alkali, Carbonate or metasl. Here are the general equation's for acid neutralisation. Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt +Water Acid + Metal = Salt + hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water +Carbon dioxide. Notice in each case, that the acid is converted to a (Chemical).SALT , which has a neutral pH of '7'. NB An Alkali is a soluble base.
When an acid reacts with carbonate ions, it produces carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt. The carbon dioxide gas can be observed as bubbling. Similarly, when a base reacts with carbonate ions, the result is the formation of carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt.
