Question

Why do people mix acids and bases?

Answer 1

Now when you mix acids and bases (or even acids and water) the same thing happens. Heat is released by the chemical reaction. Sometimes the heat is enough to promote a vigorous reaction. In this case the heat may not be able to escape quickly so heats up the reactants perhaps to form a gas before the reaction is over. Since there is some acid still about there is a danger that drops of this will be expelled (spat about) by the gas trying to expand.

Answer 3

the reactants disassociate completely, and swap completely, making new products

Answer 4

In general we perform the mix between acids and bases, in ordert o get a salt, by a reaction which is called "double change reaction". Here is an example of that reaction:
\[\Large {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}{\text{ + 2KOH}} \rightleftharpoons {{\text{K}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}{\text{ + 2}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}\]

Answer 5

oops..in order to get...

Answer 6

when acid is added in base acid gets neutralized .that is why it is also known as neutralization reaction and we get salt and water as a result
