Question

Statement 1: An acid reacts with a base to form salt and water, this type of reaction is known as neutralisation reaction.
Statement 2: Neutralisation reaction are exothermic reaction.

The correct statement for neutralisation reaction is:
(a) Both the statements are true, and statement 2 is the correct explanation for statement 1
(b) Both the statements are true, but statement 2 is not the correct explanation for statement 1
(c) Statement 1 is true, but statement 2 is false

Answer 1

Correct option is (b)
[1 Mark]
An acid reacts with a base to form salt and water, this type of reaction is known as neutralisation reaction. Neutralisation reaction is highly exothermic in nature.
Acid + Base → Salt + Water + Heat
For example,
NaOH reacts with HCl to form NaCl and H₂O. It can be represented as follows:
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l) + Heat
So, option (b) is correct.
