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.

How do you neutralize a acid or alkali?

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.


What is an acid neutralized by?

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.


Why is carbon dioxide more soluble in sodium hydroxide than water?

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.


What happens when you put vinegar in soda?

The addition of vinegar (and mild acid) to baking soda (a base or alkali) causes a somewhat violent chemical reaction producing carbon dioxide suddenly.


If an acid is added to an alkali the following is formed 1. carbon dioxide and water 2.salts and hydrogen 3.carbon dioxide and hydrogen 4.salts and water 5.oxygen and water?

a neutral solution is formed! (Acid + Alkali= salt+water)


Is carbon dioxide formed when acid reacts with base?

Carbon dioxide does not show reactions with acids.


What kind of base and acid is carbon dioxide weak or strong?

Dissolved carbon dioxide in water (carbonic acid) is weak acid.


How can you test if carbon monoxide is acid or alkali?

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.


What are two common fire extinguishers that are ineffective on alkali metal fires?

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.


Can you get alkali rain?

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.


What cancel out or neutralize acids?

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.


How does an acid and a base react with carbonated ions?

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.
