The total mass will remain the same. The Law of Mass Conservation that matter cannot be created or destroyed. So, as long as the acid and the base react in a closed system (none of the products escape measurement) the mass will remain the same. The only way the total mass could seem less then the original mass would be because some of the water, that is always created in the reaction of an acid or base, has evaporated. Or in the case of Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) carbon dioxide is released when it reacts with an acid, so unless it reacts in a closed system, that mass will escape measure.
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.
when a base is mixed with an acidic solution why does neutralization occurs?
As an acid is gradually mixed with increasing amounts of alkali, the pH of the solution will increase. Initially, there will be a neutralization reaction where the acid and alkali will react to form water and a salt. If more alkali is added than needed to neutralize the acid, the pH of the solution will continue to increase, becoming more basic.
A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and salt and involves the combination of H+ ions and OH- ions to generate water. When a solution is neutralized, it means that salts are formed from equal weights of acid and base.
No, sulfuric acid is not an alkali metal. It is a strong mineral acid with the chemical formula H2SO4, composed of hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen. Alkali metals are a group of elements in the periodic table that includes lithium, sodium, potassium, and others.
Total mass remains the same according to the law of conservation of mass.

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

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.
A chemical reaction. . Acid + alkali = salt + water . eg H 2 SO 4 + 2NaOH = Na 2 SO 4 + 2H 2 O
When an acid reacts with an alkali (or vice versa) it is called neutralisation.
The reaction between an acid and an alkali is known as a neutralization reaction. In this reaction, the acid reacts with the alkali to form water and a salt.
When an alkali tablet, such as an antacid, reacts with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid), it neutralizes the acid by forming water and a salt. This reaction helps to alleviate symptoms of acid indigestion or heartburn by reducing the acidity in the stomach.
It is commonly called 'neutralisation' and the resultant chemical compounds are 'a salt' and 'water'.
Yes it is.
