acids dissolve in water to give H+ ions and the anion, where the H+ ions give the acid its properties since CO4 does hav H+ ions in it, it is definitely not an acid not all compounds containing H+ ions are acids though

How do you neutralize hydrobromic acid?

Hydrobromic acid can be neutralized by adding a base such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH) to form water and a salt, sodium bromide (NaBr) or potassium bromide (KBr). The reaction between hydrobromic acid and a base is an acid-base neutralization reaction, where the acid donates a proton (H+) to the base, forming water and a salt.


What kind of reaction is acid plus base equals salt plus water?

The reaction between an acid and a base to form a salt and water is called a neutralization reaction. In this reaction, the hydronium ions from the acid react with the hydroxide ions from the base to form water, and the remaining ions combine to form a salt.


What is formed when an acid and a base is mixed?

when an acid and a base combine, salt and water are formed. This process of reaction of an acid and base is called neutralisation.


What is the general equation for a acid-base reaction?

Here are the four general acid reactions. Acid + Base = Salr + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soliuble base.


Can an acid and a base react to form an acid?

NO!!!! Remember the general acid reaction equations. Acid + Base = Salt +Water Acid +Alkali = Salt + Water Acid +Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.


What is the general form for the simplest type of acid base reaction?

Acid + base salt + water


Does CO2 dissolve in water to form an acid or a base?

When carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, not a base.


What gas is formed when a base reacts with an acid?

No gas. Acid + base --> salt + water only


What does acid and base equals?

A SALT & WATER., Remember the general reaction eq;ns for acids. Acid + Base = Salt +Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide. NB A Salt is a CHEMICAL Salt , Not table salt. NNB An Alkali is a soluble Base. Here are examples of each in turn 2HCl + CaO = CaCl2 + H2O H2SO4 + 2NaOH = Na2SO4 + 2H2O 2HNO3 + Ca = Ca(NO3)2 + H2 2CH3COOH + Na2CO3 = 2CH3COONa + H2O + CO2


What forms when base react with acid they form salt and what?

When a base reacts with an acid, they form a salt and water. The salt is the result of the neutralization reaction between the acid and base, where the H+ ions from the acid combine with the OH- ions from the base to form water, leaving behind the salt compound.
