This is an double-displacement reaction, in this case and acid-base reaction.

What is general form for the simplest type of acid-base reaction?

Acid + base salt + water


Acid plus base equals salt plus water?

Only when they exactly neutralise one another.


Is H2O plus hso3 equals h2so3 plus oh- and acid or base?

(OH- is a base) (H+ is an acid) Therefore by adding water to HSO3, the OH- ion is produced therefore it is an Arrhenius base.


How do you calculate a dissociation constant?

Determination of the Dissociation Constant and Molar Mass for a Weak AcidAbstract: We will determine Ka and the molar mass for an unknown weak acid by using a pH meter to record the pH at intervals during the titration with sodium hydroxide. The titration curve and its first derivative will be plotted to establish the equivalence point. Introduction The strength of an acid is defined by its ability to donate a proton to a base. For many common acids, we can quantify acid strength by expressing it as the equilibrium constant for the reaction in which the acid donates a proton to the standard base, water, as shown in the equations below: HA + H2O Û H3O+ + A-, for H3CCOOH: H3CCOOH + H2O Û H3O+ + H3CCOO - The equilibrium constant for a reaction of this type is called the Acid Dissociation Constant, "Ka", for the acid HA Determination of the Dissociation Constant and Molar Mass for a Weak AcidAbstract: We will determine Ka and the molar mass for an unknown weak acid by using a pH meter to record the pH at intervals during the titration with sodium hydroxide.

Is acid solution negative or positive?

Whether something is acid or base the strength of that solution is measured by the pH scale. 0 (zero) is the most acid and 14 is the most base. distilled water measures 7 and is completely neutral. Ammonia is an example of a base and is usually measured at a pH of 11.6. So the answer to your question is that an acid has a positive pH. There is no such thing as a negative pH.
