Sea water is in fact basic. This results from the various salts dissolved in the water. Although one would expect sea water to be acidic (carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in water to form carbonic acid), limestone deposits help to keep the ocean basic.

When is alkali used to calm a acid?

Neutralize, you mean :) An equal amount of an acid and an alkali will neutralize to produce water and a corresponding salt. ;)


When an acid neutralizes an alkali what 2 things are formed?

And acid plus an alkali produces water and a salt.


When a acid reacts with an alkali what are the twp products are formed what are they?

When an acid reacts with an alkali, the two products formed are salt and water. This reaction is called neutralization, where the acid donates a proton (H+) to the alkali to form water, and the remaining ions from the acid and alkali combine to form a salt.


Is a salt and water made when you mix an acid and an alkali?

Yes, when you mix an acid and an alkali, a salt and water are typically produced through a neutralization reaction. The acid donates a proton (H+) to the alkali, forming water, while the remaining ions combine to form a salt.


What is the missing word in this equation acid+alkali=something+water?

The Answer is Salt. Acid + Akali = Water + Salt


What does mixing acid and alkali produce?

Mixing an acid and an alkali produces salt and water through a neutralization reaction. The acid donates a proton to the alkali, forming water, while the remaining ions from the acid and alkali combine to form a salt.


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 acid and alkali react?

When an acid and alkali react, they neutralize each other to form water and a salt. The reaction involves the transfer of protons from the acid to the alkali. The resulting solution will be closer to neutral pH.


What happens when an acid reacts with an alkali?

Acid + alkali ---> Salt + Water for exampleSodium Hydroxide + Hydrochloric Acid ---> Sodium Chloride + Water


What does adding an acid to an alkali produce?

Adding an acid to an alkali produces a salt and water through a neutralization reaction. The H+ ions from the acid react with the OH- ions from the alkali to form water, while the anion from the acid combines with the cation from the alkali to form a salt.


Does acid produce a gas with an alkali?

No gas is produced in the reaction of an acid and an alkali. In a neutralisation reaction, acid + alkali -> salt + water
