What else can I help you with?
What acid and base can you comdine and what happens?
How about the ever faithful hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide: HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H20. Strong Acid + Strong Base = Salt & Water
Is NiNO3 an acid or base?
It is a salt formed from strong acid and strong base and hence it is neither acidic nor basic.
Is Dimethylamine strong acid?
Dimethylamine is actually a weak base, not a strong acid. It is a derivative of ammonia and can accept protons in solution, making it a base.
Why can a buffer only buffer against a small amounts of acid or base?
A strong acid and a strong base will react together to produce a neutral salt. E.g., HCl (strong acid) and NaOH (strong base) will react together to form H20 and NaCl (salt). The salt is neutral (if you dump table salt into water, the solution will be neutral) this is because the Na+ and Cl- are perfectly happy being charged atoms. If you have something that doesn't really like to be ionized, which is a weak acid or base (for example acetic acid, (vinegar) which is only 1.1% ionized (charged) in a water solution) will only be ionized if something forces it to be ionized, i.e., a strong acid or base. When there is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate salt (or weak base and its conjugate salt) a buffer is formed. This is due to the fact that if you add some strong acid it will simply react with the conjugate salt, and if you add some strong base it will react with the weak acid. This is how they "buffer solutions" by keeping things pretty balanced. So to answer your question, a buffer must contain something that is only weakly reactive, and can react further when the need is present. A strong acid/base will totally react, so there is nothing left over to do any buffering.
What is it called when a strong acid mix with a strong base?
This is a neutralization reaction.
What happens when you combine a very strong acid and a very strong base?
neutralized
What happens when a weak acid and a strong base combine?
When a weak acid and a strong base combine, the resulting solution will be basic because the strong base will completely neutralize the weak acid. The pH of the solution will be higher than 7.
What acid and base can you comdine and what happens?
How about the ever faithful hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide: HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H20. Strong Acid + Strong Base = Salt & Water
What is the pH when a weak acid and a strong base are mixed together?
When a weak acid and a strong base are mixed together, the pH of the resulting solution will be greater than 7, indicating that it is basic.
What happens when a strong base reacts with a weak acid?
When a strong base reacts with a weak acid, the base will completely neutralize the acid, forming water and a salt as the products of the reaction. This process is known as a neutralization reaction.
What happens when mixing a strong acid with a strong base?
When mixing a strong acid with a strong base, a neutralization reaction occurs, resulting in the formation of water and a salt. The strong acid donates a proton (H+) to the strong base, which accepts the proton (OH-) to form water. The remaining ions from the acid and base combine to form a salt.
What happens when a strong base mixes with a strong acid?
It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.
What is formed when a strong acid with a strong base?
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
Explain how the relationship between the strengths of an acid and its conjugate base and of a base and its conjugated acid?
If acid is strong then its conjugate base must be weak, if conjugate base is strong it again accept the H+ ions so acid can neither be strong, similarly if base is strong its conjugate acid must be weak.
What happens when a acid and a base are put together?
If they are put together in equal parts, then they will equalize the PH level.
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.
Is the conjugate of a strong base is a weak acid?
NaHCO3 is a weak base, with a conjugate acid of H2CO3+.
