A base can neutralize a acid of its opposite pH (potential hydrogen) which is a scale of 1-14 so if a base is a 14 it can neutralize a 1, a 13 a 2 and so forth. Until you get to 7, which is pure water (neutral)

Is magnesia milk an acid or base?

Magnesia milk, also known as milk of magnesia, is a base. It contains magnesium hydroxide, which reacts with acids in the stomach to neutralize excess stomach acid and provide relief from heartburn or indigestion.


What would happen to the overall pH if you dumped a strong acid into a solution that was slightly alkaline?

The final pH of the mixture will depend on how much of the strong acid you add. The initial amount of acid will neutralize the alkaline solution, and if there is enough of the strong acid, the final pH will then become acidic, i.e. pH < 7.


Distinguish between concentrated acid or base and strong acid or base?

Concentration deals with how much you have dissolved in the solution you are using, eg you could have concentrated sulphuric acid 5 moldm-3 or dilute 0.5 moldm-3. Strength in chemistry means how much it will dissociate. So H2SO4 is a strong acid and completely dissociates, so one mole of acid will release two moles of H+. Ethanoic acid is a weak acid and would only release a small number of protons. Acid strength is shown in numbers called the dissociation constant Ka which you can look up in data tables.


What minerals make up antacid?

Since when you need a antacid it's because you have too much acid they are made with a base to neutralize it. Most contain at least one of these: magnesium, sodium, potassium, bismuth, and calcium. Hope that helps a little. We learned this in my EMT class...I guess if someone ever called 911 for heartburn we'd be there for them!! PR: *When you need *an antacid*, it's because you have too much acid*. They are made with a base *that neutralizes it. Most contains at least one of *the following; magnesium, sodium, potassium, bismuth, *or calcium. *I hope that helps *you a little. *I learned this in my E.M.T. class*. ***** NB! Please take a look at the revised version. The * shows where you could fix your text. Please take into consideration. Thank you.


How much acid is required to neutralise pH level11.2?

As many as hydroxide concentration:[OH-] = 10-[14.0-pH] = 10-[14.0-11.2] = 10-2.8 =invlog(-2.8) = 1.6*10-3 mol/LSo, to neutralize you've to add 1.6*10-3 mole strong monoprotic acid (H+) to 1.0 L solution of pH 11.2

If you have 25ml of 3m acid how much 8m base would you need to neutralize it?

To neutralize the 25ml of 3M acid, you would need to find the number of moles of acid present, which is 25ml * 3M = 75 millimoles. Then, you would need the same number of millimoles of the 8M base to neutralize it, so you would need 75 millimoles / 8M = 9.38ml of the 8M base.

What is the compound that reacts with potassium to form potassium hydroxide?

Potassium Hydroxide(KOH) is a base (it is "basic"). An acid will neutralize a base. Acetic acid can be used to neutralize KOH. Baking soda is a base, so it will not work to neutralize KOH.

How much stomach acid can one antacid tablet neutralize?

The amount of stomach acid neutralized by one antacid tablet varies depending on the brand and formulation of the tablet. On average, an antacid tablet can neutralize around 20-50 milliequivalents of stomach acid. It is important to follow the dosing instructions provided on the product packaging to ensure proper neutralization of stomach acid.

Just cover the acid with baking soda and let it sit overnight.


Do weak acids require more or less base for titration?

If you are aiming for a specific pH they require less of a base. If you need to simply full titrate it, it depends on how much of the acid you have, not how strong it is.


Can vinegar substitute hydrochloric acid?

No, vinegar contains ethanoic acid, which is a weak acid. On the other hand, hydrochloric acid is a stong acid.


How much soda ash to neutralize 68 percent phosphoric acid?

To neutralize 68% phosphoric acid, you would need to add soda ash based on the molar ratio of the acid and base. The chemical equation would be 2Na2CO3 + 3H3PO4 → 6NaH2PO4 + CO2 + H2O. You would need to calculate the exact amount of soda ash required based on the stoichiometry of the reaction.
