Question

Process in which acids ($H^{+}$) and bases ($O{H}^{-}$) react to form salts and water is called :

• A. neutralization
• B. hydrogenation
• C. halogenation
• D. sublimation

Answer 1

The correct option is A neutralization

Neutralization is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In a reaction in water, neutralization results in there being no excess of hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution. The pH of the neutralized solution depends on the acid strength of the reactants. Neutralization is used in many applications.
