Solution
Neutralisation reactions are the reactions where an acid and a base combines to form salt and water. HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
Neutralisation reactions are important to restore soil neutrality in case of acidic and basic soils. They are also used in acid-base titration, which is a very important way of determining how much of a acid/basic compound is there in a sample.
The acid spills that happen are fixed by neutralisation (acids reacting to a base).
This process also takes place when purifying water for drinking.
