Question

What is acid neutralization?

Answer 1

In chemistry, neutralization is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In a reaction in water, neutralization results in there being no excess of hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.

In the context of a chemical reaction the term neutralization is used for a reaction between an acid and a base or alkali Historically, this reaction was represented as

acid + base(alkali) → salt + water

For example:
HCl + NaOH → NaCl +H₂O
