Question

What is a neutralization reaction? Give one example.

Answer 1

A reaction in which an acid and a base react with each other to form a salt is called a neutralization reaction. For example: Hydrochloric acid (acid) reacts with sodium hydroxide (a base) to form sodium chloride (common salt) and water. The chemical equation looks like this:

HCl +NaOH → Nacl + H₂O
