Question

What is neutralisation?

Answer 1

• Neutralisation occurs when an acid and a base react together to form salt and water.
• Example for neutralisation:

$\underset{\mathrm{Hydrochloric}\mathrm{acid}}{\mathrm{HCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{hydroxide}}{\mathrm{NaOH}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{chloride}}{\mathrm{NaCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{water}}{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)}$
