Neutralization reaction is an example of -
Exothermic reaction
Endothermic reaction
Oxidation reaction
None of these
Exothermic reaction
Neutralization reaction:
When an acid reacts with base, salt and water if formed such reaction is called a neutralization reaction. For example:
Option a) exothermic reaction is the correct answer because heat is generated when the reaction takes place.
Option b) endothermic reaction is incorrect because heat is released
Option c) oxidation reaction is incorrect because no substance is oxidized
Option d) is not correct
Hence, option a) is the correct answer.
