A neutral solution can contain ions of hydrogen, hydroxide, and the cation and anion of any neutral salt. There are equal numbers of hydrogen and hydroxide ions, and also an equal (but usually different) number of the other pair of ions.

When each what is added to water is the resulting solution acidic basic or neutral?

When each of the following is added to water, is the resulting solution acidic, basic, or neutral? a) HClO, b) NaCl, c) HCN, d) MgO, e) CH3OH


Does a neutral object contain any charge?

No, a neutral object does not contain any net charge. This means that the positive and negative charges within the object balance each other out, resulting in a net neutral charge.


What must a neutral object contain?

The electrical charges were each other neutralized.


How do you make a neutral solution?

To make a neutral solution, you can mix equal parts of an acid and a base. Alternatively, you can mix water with a substance that neither donates hydrogen ions nor hydroxide ions in significant amounts, such as a neutral salt like sodium chloride. A neutral pH is 7, indicating a balance of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.


Does an acid contain one or more hydroxide ions?

An acidic solution contains many more H+ ions than OH- ions, and a basic solution has more OH- than H+. A pure water solution, which is neutral, has exactly equal number of each.


What happens when a strong acid and strong base are combined?

When a strong acid and a strong base is combined, it neutralizes each other. During neutralization, a new "neutral" substance and water is produced. The "neutral" substance will be either acidic or basic in a very weak manner. Since one is always stronger than the other by a small factor, the substance will always get either H3O+ or OH- in a small quantity in the "neutral" substance. This quantity is so small, it does not affect the pH and it usually ends up at 7 after successful neutralization.

How You are given three clear colorless unknown solutions and red and blue litmus papers. Describe the steps you might take to correctly identify each solution as acidic basic or neutral.?

Test each unknown solution with both red and blue litmus papers. If red litmus turns blue, the solution is basic. If blue litmus turns red, the solution is acidic. If both red and blue litmus papers remain the same, the solution is neutral.


What happens if you add hydrogen ions to a neutral solution?

If you mix an neutral and an acid, The pH of the solution will be closer to 7 (neutral).Also if you mix an acid with an alkali (providing they are around the same strengh) it will turn neutral. Its like mixing orange juice with water, The juice is acid and the water is neutral, put water in the juice and it become weaker.


When there is exactly same amount of acid and alkali what is solution and pH?

pH7 which is neutral and is normally the colour green


Which acid-base reaction will yield a neutral solution?

A reaction between a strong acid and a strong base will yield a neutral solution because the resulting salt will be neutral. Strong acids completely ionize in water to yield H+ ions, and strong bases completely dissociate to yield OH- ions, which neutralize each other to form water. Examples of a strong acid and base reacting to form a neutral solution include HCl (hydrochloric acid) and NaOH (sodium hydroxide).


What happens with a stong acid is added to a base?

The acid and base will neutralize each other and the resulting solution will be more neutral. If the base being neutralized is strong, the resulting salt will be neutral. If the base is weak the resulting salt will be acidic. A solution of such a salt may be called a buffer.
