Question

Can anyone tell me a acid base neutralization reaction which yields liquids rather than salts.????

Thank you.....

Answer 1

No matter what, you will have salt and water from neutralization as far as I now.

Answer 2

Anyone else..........

Answer 3

sorry idk

Answer 4

Its not possible.

Answer 5

yes what wolfe says is correct..as far as i know u always get salts...there are some reactions in which water is not formed...but salts definitely...

Answer 6

come on guys........

the best thing I learned from my lecturer is to "never say impossible".......

So I am not gonna agree with you......
Still my question is open, suggestions are welcome.......

Answer 7

I agreed with @wolfe8 and @shrutipande9 .
In the reaction of an acid with a base in aqueous solution, the hydrogen ions of the acid react with the hydroxide ions of the base to give water. The second product is a salt, which is composed of the positive metal ion from the base and the negative ion from the acid.

As acid so much have H+ As base must have OH- So what'll form when they combine ???....... water :D

Answer 8

Thanks for the reply folks..........

But still i am not convinced.....

Answer 9

well water is a liquid :D

Answer 10

Guys check this out....

H2O + HCO3 = H2C2O3 + OH

what do you think......... did this answered my question.???

Answer 11

H2O as Base ???O.O

Answer 12

nope........ its not a base.... but we use it as diluent........ can't we????

Answer 13

but your question is about neutralization .Isn't it ??

Answer 14

yes.......

Answer 15

according to theory, hco3 is both acid and base, so it can accept protons or donate them........ depends upon pH.

so, when I add water in it....
1. it can absorb H+ and forms acid..... as H2O + HCO3 = H2C2O3 + OH...
or.. 2. it can donate H+ and forms base as..... H2o + HCO3 = H3O+ + CO3 2-


I prefer first option, but don't know how to cortrol it.........

Answer 16

and gues what..... I came up with this solution form you link only....... @sarah786

Answer 17

lol :D Thanks to GOD then XD

Answer 18

Water is not a base, even if it's formula can be presented as H-OH. Why? Just because H is not a metal. The initial question was tricky, as it required the products in the form of liquids, which, in my opinion, means -soluble salts-. Now, what I would do: I'd check the table for solubility for salts. As I don't have one nearby, I remember that all the salts of NO3- are soluble (read:liquids) and all the salts of Cl- (except for AgCl) are soluble, too. So, I'd present the following reaction as an example: KOH+HNO3->KNO3+HOH.

Answer 19

Did you mean redox instead of neutralization?

Answer 20

@Frostbite can u help with this?

Answer 21

\(H_2O\) can act as, both, an acid and a base, it is amphoteric.

Answer 22

I'll be captain obvious and base my answer on Aaronq's answer:
\[\Large \sf 2 ~ H _{2}O(l) ~ \rightleftharpoons ~ H _{3}O ^{+}(aq) ~ + ~ OH ^{-}(aq)\]
Water's own autoionization.

Answer 23

but is it an example of acid-base neutralization this autoionization?

Answer 24

H2o + Co2 = H2co3 (acid)
it is reversible....... and h2co3 + h2o = 2h2o + co2

awesome.........

Thank you all guys.....
