Test the pH.
its when you add an acid and an alkali together to make something neutral
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.
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.
a nettle sting is acid but a doc leaf is alkali which is why it neutralises it
Methyl orange is also known as p-dimethylamino-azobenzenesulfonic ACID.As stated on wikipedia, hence I would have to say that it is in fact an acid, interestingly, it is an acid that tells us whether a substance is an acid or alkali, by changing colour.It is known as an INDICATOR.In:Acid=Red. Alkali=Yellow. Neutral=Orange, thus the name methyl orange.HAHA.There you go. A decent answer.Hope this helps.
no you do not always need water to see whether something is acid or alkali
You need to measure the pH of the solution.
pH.paper tells the strength of an acid and alkali and litmus paper tells that whether the substance is an acid or an alkali.
You can use indicators (liquid or paper). Universal Indicators (UI) are the best, as with them you can tell if something is acid, neutral or alkali, depending on the colour (there will be a colour indicator). However, you can also use red and blue indicator, but they are less accurate, as although they might be acid (or alkali), they might be neutral as well, so I suggest you use UI. Hope this helps :) Source: Science lessons!
only tells you whether it is an acid or alkali.
Alkali. IF something contains hydroxide ions it is an alkali.
it is complete alkali
acid
it is complete alkali
its when you add an acid and an alkali together to make something neutral
The Answer is Salt. Acid + Akali = Water + Salt
alkali is used to reduce acid and acid is used to reduce alkali
