when an acid and a base combine, salt and water are formed. This process of reaction of an acid and base is called neutralisation.
when a base is mixed with an acidic solution why does neutralization occurs?
Salt and water are formed from the neutralization of an Arrhenius acid with an Arrhenius base.
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
It is a salt formed from strong acid and strong base and hence it is neither acidic nor basic.
Salts are formed from the reaction between an acid and a base, where the hydrogen ions from the acid are replaced by metal or ammonium ions. The resulting product is a salt and water. This chemical process is known as neutralization.
When an acid and a base are mixed together, the products formed are water and a salt. The salt is usually a compound composed of the cation from the base and the anion from the acid.
When an acid and a base are mixed together, they neutralize each other to form water and a salt. The reaction between an acid and a base is known as a neutralization reaction. The salt formed depends on the specific acid and base that are mixed.
When an acid and a base are mixed it will give rise to a salt and water. For example HCl reacts with NaOH to give NaCl and H2O. The basic formula for the reaction of an acid and base is: HA + BOH ----> AB + H2O [acid] [base] [salt] [water]
a base is represented by OH- and an acid is H+ and so when these two are mixed you get H2O so water and salts sometimes
The combination of an acid and a base will result in the production of a salt and sometimes, water (requires a hydroxide (OH-) base and an acid that will make hydrogen (H+) ions). This is called a neutralization reaction.
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
Burning sulfur in air sulfur dioxide is formed; this gas dissolved in water form an acidic solution.
when a base is mixed with an acidic solution why does neutralization occurs?
acid.
Vinegar is an acid because when mixed with a base such as baking soda it will fizz.
It usually depends on the strenght of the acid and base mixed. If you have a weak acid and a strong based mixed, you have neutralization reaction, in which H+ in acid is being neutralized by OH- in the base. Mixing a weak base and a strong acid does opposite, OH- is nutralized by H+. Usually these reactions are not complete and you have an equilibrium reactions. If both an acid and a base a strong you have a complete reaction in which water and salt are formed.
When they are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs. This chemical reaction is called neutralisation reaction. It is called so because they both neutralise each other to produce a salt and water. Also remember the following points.When a strong acid and weak base are mixed, the salt formed is an acidic salt.When a strong base and weak acid are mixed, the salt formed is a basic salt.When both the acid and base are strong, then the salt formed is a neutral salt .
