Antifreeze is typically a solution made from ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, which are neither acids nor bases; they are neutral compounds. The pH of antifreeze solutions is usually around neutral, though it can vary slightly depending on additives. These additives may include corrosion inhibitors, which can influence the overall pH but do not classify the antifreeze itself as an acid or base.
In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base. The overall reaction involves the transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.
In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This transfer of protons characterizes the reaction, distinguishing it from other acid-base theories. As a result, the acid converts into its conjugate base, while the base becomes its conjugate acid. This framework highlights the dynamic nature of acid-base interactions in various chemical reactions.
In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride
when a base is mixed with an acidic solution why does neutralization occurs?
it is a base
anti acid is a normally a base and it's weak
Yes it can freeze.
Yes, anti-freeze can kill you if you drink it.
It's basic. It's called an antacid tablet because its "anti acid", and the purpose of it is to neutralize the acidity within your stomach by adding a more basic component into it.
50% anti-freeze, 50% water is normal, this can be elevated to 70% anti-freeze, 30% water. It is not recommended to have a higher anti-freeze ratio than this.
Baking soda is a base material that cancels out the effects of acid. That's why it's called an 'antacid' meaning anti-acid.
The color of the antifreeze does not have anything to do with the type of anti-freeze. Anti-freeze manufacturers can make their anti-freeze any color they choose. You can use any SAE certified anti-freeze in your 1997 Toyota Corolla.
It's due to the car over heating and it's usually because of cheap anti freeze or too much water in the mixture. (Probably a clogged radiator or a bad thermostat, too much water or "cheap anti-freeze" has nothing to do with it. They don't make "cheap" anti freeze. Anti-freeze is just that... anti-freeze!)
Yes, battery acid can freeze at low temperatures.
All Caravan and Grand Caravans from 95 -2003 will run happily on regular green anti-freeze. I have had 4 of these vehicles and never a problem with anti-freeze.
if your anti freeze is green. always stay with green anti freeze. if it is orange. always stay with orange anti freeze no ifs,ands,or buts about it.
I need to change the anti-freeze in my 2008 Pathfinder. What do I need to do to perform this task?
