Acid neutralizing capacity measures a sample’s buffering capabilities and is important for water quality, chemical testing, and manufacturing. It can prevent pH problems and facilitate specific reactions. Low buffer capacity can lead to unbalanced ecosystems and harm organisms. Acid neutralizing capacity is a measure of the buffering capabilities in a sample of water. Tests can […]
Neutralization is when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt. The pH scale measures acidity, with 1 being a strong acid and 14 a strong base. The reactivity series determines which chemical displaces the other in a reaction. A common example is hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide forming salt and […]
