Solution

Each point: 1 Mark

1. The reaction between an acid and a base is known as neutralization.
2. Salt and water are produced in this process with the evolution of heat.

3. Acid + Base → Salt + Water + (Heat is evolved)
4. As for example, when sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is treated with sufficient amount of hydrochloric acid (HCl), a neutralization reaction takes place. Both NaOH and HCl neutralize their effects and form a salt sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H2O) with the evolution of heat energy
5. NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O + (Heat is evolved)
