What happens when you mix an acid with alkali?
When an acid is mixed with an alkali, a neutralization reaction occurs. This reaction results in the formation of water and a salt. The acidity of the acid decreases and the alkalinity of the alkali decreases as they react with each other.
Is baby oil an acid or alkali?
Baby oil is not an acid or an alkali. It is a mixture of mineral oils and fragrance.
What happens when you shake up oil and water?
Oil and water do not mix due to their different densities and polarities. When shaken together, the oil and water will temporarily mix and form small droplets of oil in the water, but they will quickly separate back into distinct layers due to their immiscibility.
What is the reaction called when an alkali and a acid mix togeteher?
When an alkali and an acid mix together, they undergo a neutralization reaction. During this reaction, the hydrogen ions from the acid react with the hydroxide ions from the alkali to form water and a salt.
What happens if you mix oil and water together?
Oil and water do not mix because they have different densities and polarities. The oil will float on top of the water, layering itself above the water due to its lower density. This is due to the fact that oil is nonpolar, while water is polar, causing them to repel each other.

What happens when the alkali metals react with chlorine?
They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.
What happens when you mix coconut oil and kerosene?

What happens when you mix Sudan Iv with oil only?

You have a mess.
What happens when you combine oil and water?
The oil will float above the water, as they wont mix with each other, and oil is lighter.
What happens if you mix alkali metals with oxygen?
When alkali metals react with oxygen, they form metal oxides. This reaction is often highly exothermic and can produce heat and light. The resulting metal oxides produced will vary depending on the specific alkali metal involved.
What happens when you mix oil with cement?
The mix won't set properly, and the lifespan of your cement form will be shortened considerably.
What happens when you mix oil with vinegar?
you get lovely salad dressing
What happens when mix synthetics with non synthetics?
Synthetic and conventional oil can be mixed and used with no problem. That is exactly what a synthetic blend that you can buy is. A mix of synthetic oil and conventional.
