Question 2

What is a neutralization reaction? Explain with an example.

Answer 1

The reaction between an acid and bases is called a neutralization reaction. The result of the reaction is salt and water.

For example, when hydrochloric acid(acid) and sodium hydroxide(base) react they form sodium chloride(salt) and water. Also, heat evolves.
$\mathrm{NaOH}+\mathrm{HCl}\to \mathrm{NaCl}+H_{2}O+\mathrm{heat}$
