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

Answer 1

Neutralization is a reaction in which acids and bases of equal strength react t each other to form salt and water.

The salt formed in the reaction is neutral, because acid and bases neutralize the power of each other.

$\left(i\right)\text{NaOH}\left(aq\right)+\text{HCl}\left(aq\right)\to \text{NaCl}\left(aq\right)+{\text{H}}_2\text{O}\left(l\right)$
$\left(ii\right){\text{HNO}}_3\left(aq\right)+\text{KOH}\left(aq\right)\to {\text{KNO}}_3\left(aq\right)+{\text{H}}_2\text{O}\left(l\right)$
