What does a general acid base reaction look like?
This is a strong base/acid neutralization reaction with a product of salt and water. NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O
What happens when you mix a strong acid with a strong base?
When a strong acid and a strong base mix, all acidic protons will react with every basic molecule until one or the other runs out. The curve for a titration of a strong acid with a strong base will change slowly at first, and dramatically when the equivalence point (where the number of moles of acid is equal to the number of moles of base) is reached. The reaction, like all acid-base reactions, is fast.
What does acid taste like in food?
It tastes sour. Other tastes are sweet, bitter and salty. Bitter is alkaline, the opposite of acid in Ph. And salty is the combination of an acid and a base (alkaline), which is a salt.
Does the pH level in acid cause it to melt through things?
No, not at all. It's actually the hazardous chemicals in the acid that causes it to melt trough things. If the pH level of acid caused it to burn through thing then most soda like Dr.pepper would burn right through. But the pH level does contribute to it though.
What would be the pH value of a strong acid?
pH is not a measure of how strong an acid is, it is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is. This depends on both the strength of the acid/base and how much is dissolved in a given amount of water. Any acid will produce a pH below 7, and a strong acid will usually produce a very low pH, but again, that depends on the concentration. However, a pH of 0-3 would be considered a strong acid. Yet concentrated glacial acetic acid although very corrosive and strong would not have a pH this low.
Is tin oxide an acid or a base?
The oxides of tin are amphoteric in nature as SnO, with acid it behaves like a base and with a base like an acid.
What acts like both an acid and a base?
Water can act as both an acid and a base. It can donate a proton (acting as an acid) or accept a proton (acting as a base), depending on the chemical reaction it is involved in. This property is known as amphoteric.
Is radium hydroxide amphoteric?
No, radium hydroxide is not amphoteric. An amphoteric compound is one that has characteristics of and is capable of reacting like either an acid or a base. Radium is a metal from Group 2 of the periodic table, and these Alkaline Earth metals form hydroxides that are definitely basic in nature. In general, amphoteric compounds will not be formed by metals at the end or through the middle of the periodic table, but will include poor metals or metalloids in their makeup. An example might be aluminum hydroxide. We see the poor metal aluminum forming Al(OH)3 molecules, which display characteristics of amphoterism. A link can be found below for more information.
Is lead oxide an acid or a base?
Oh, dude, lead oxide is actually amphoteric, which means it can act as both an acid and a base depending on the situation. It's like a chameleon of the chemistry world, just going with the flow and not committing to one side. So, yeah, lead oxide is neither strictly an acid nor a base - it's just doing its own thing.
What can act like and acid and bases?
These substances are called amphoteric.
Is zinc oxide an amphoteric oxide?
Yes, it is amphoteric, at the same time it behaves like acid AND like base:it acts as an acid when in a base: ZnO(s) + 2OH-(aq) +H20(l) -> [Zn(OH)4]2-(aq)it reacts as a base when in acid: ZnO(s) + 2H+(aq) -> Zn2+(aq) + H2O(l)
Is ICl3 acid or base?
ICl3 is not an acid or a base as it does not produce H+ or OH- ions in solution like traditional acids or bases. It is an interhalogen compound with chlorine as the central atom and is typically considered a covalent compound.
Is water an acid or a base?
At pH 7 water is neutral. But... water is amphoteric- it can act as an acid or a base if the pH of 7 is disrupted. its acidic or base like properties depend on whether it is receiving or donating a proton. (acids-proton donars, bases-proton acceptors.
What is a compound formed from a positive ion of a base and the negative ion of an acid called?
AnswerIt sounds like you're referring to conjugate acid and conjugate base. See links at left.The result is salt.
Is it possible for a chemical to behave as an acid in one instance and as a base in another instance?
Yes, but not at the same time. Such substances are called amphoteric. Their acidic or basic character depends on the substance they are reacting with.A good example of an amphoteric substance is water.When water reacts with a substance more basic than itself (like ammonia), it acts as an acid.H-OH + NH3 --> NH4+ + OH-When water reacts with a substance more acidic than itself (like hydrochloric acid), it acts as a base.HCl + H2O --> H3O+ + Cl-
What are the amphoteric properties of proteins?
Amphoteric properties of proteins due to the presence of free carboxylic and free amino groups at the end of protein it can react with acids and bases. In acidic medium protein carries positive charges at amino group and in alkaline medium it carries negative charges at carboxylic group.
Is Magnesium hydroxide a base or an acid?
Magnesium hydroxide is a base. It is a metal hydroxide compound that reacts with acids to form salts and water.
