Solution

The correct option is A True

The process of neutralization involves the reaction of an acid and a base to form salt and water. The effect of an acid and base is neutralized because we get the products as salt and water. The original characteristic of both acid and base are lost. Let us take an example here, the soil becomes acidic with the excessive use of fertilizers and plants do not grow well if the soil is acidic or basic in nature. If the soil is too acidic, it is treated with quicklime to neutralize the effect and make the soil neutral so that plants can grow properly. Similarly, if the soil is basic, organic matter is added to it. Here, we are just neutralizing the effect of an acid and base to get the desired result.
