Question 14
What is a neutralization reaction? Give two examples.

Answer 1

A reaction in which an acid and a base react with each other, neutralize or nullify each others' effect and produce a salt and water is termed as a neutralization reaction. For example:
$\left(i\right)\text{NaOH}\left(aq\right)+\text{HCl}\left(aq\right)\to \text{NaCl}\left(aq\right)+{\text{H}}_2\text{O}\left(l\right)$
$\left(ii\right){\text{HNO}}_3\left(aq\right)+\text{KOH}\left(aq\right)\to {\text{KNO}}_3\left(aq\right)+{\text{H}}_2\text{O}\left(l\right)$
