Define neutralization reaction give its importance

Open in App
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.
