An acid and alkali will neutralise each other and produce a salt and water. This is called a neutralisation reaction. The name of the salt produced can be worked out from the names of the acid and the ...

Chemists have scrutinized a classic piece of bench chemistry — the explosion that happens when sodium metal hits water — and revised the thinking of how it works. On contact with water, the metal ...

In acid-alkali neutralisation reactions, hydrogen ions from the acid react with hydroxide ions from the alkali. Here are the ions involved in the reaction of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide ...
