When an acid and an alkali or base neutralize each other, they form water and a salt. This process is known as neutralization. The resulting salt is composed of the positive ion from the alkali or base and the negative ion from the acid.

When an acid and an alkali or a base neutralise each other what is made?

When an acid and an alkali or base neutralize each other, they form salt and water. This is a chemical reaction where the H+ ions from the acid react with the OH- ions from the alkali to form water, while the remaining ions combine to form a salt.


Which compound is formed as the common product of the process of photosynthesis?

Glucose is formed by photosynthesis. The other product is oxygen, but that is an element.


Why are the alkali metals so named?

When alkali metals react with water they produce an alkali (basic) solution. No because they form basic oxides and they neutralise acids

When carbonic acid reacts with calcium hydroxide a salt is formed what other product is also formed?

Water is also formed.


Uses of neutralisation other than science?

In agriculture, as soils often contain acidic solutions and plants usually grow best when the soil is slightly alkaline.In medicine, as your blood has a pH of 7.3 and medicine injections must be exactly the same pH. If someone blood is changed by one pH they would die.In digestion, as the stomach is acidic, pH 1 or 2. If we wanted to neutralise the acidity we could swallow an alkaline substance such as sodium bicarbonate.To neutralise bee stings, as bee stings are acidic and can be neutralised using an alkali such as bicarbonate of soda, which would calm the irritation.To neutralise wasp stings, as wasp stings are alkaline and can be neutralised using an acid such as vinegar, which would calm the irritation.To neutralise waste from factories, as if this acidic solution is not treated and ends up in the river it could kill fish. Slaked lime is often used to neutralise the solution as it is an alkali.


When carbonic acid reacts with calcium hydroxide a salt is formed what other product is also formed in the reaction?

The reaction between carbonic acid and calcium hydroxide forms salt (calcium carbonate) and water as the other product.

What pH will neutralise a bee sting?

The pH scale of a bee sting is 3.5, so if you get stung by a bee, putting toothpaste on the bee sting should help because the bee sting is weak acid but toothpaste is week alkali so it should balance it out.


What are the two products formed when acid reacts with alkali?

An acid reacts with an alkali to form an salt and water. This is a neutralisation reaction.acid + alkali -> salt + waterThe kind of salt that is formed, will depend on the relative strengths of the acid and the alkali.This type of reactions are called neutralization reactions. They form salt and water. NaCl, MgCl2, KCi are few salts.


What happens when you add a acid into a base?

They neutralise each other, assuming you neutralise a volume of acid with a base of the same molarity they completely cancel each other out leaving water and a salt. The salt differs depending on the acid and base used.
