Question

When acid or base reacts to form neutral salt solution, the reaction is called ……..

Answer 1

• Neutralization reaction is a chemical reaction in which acid and a base react quantitatively with each other.
• The acid reacts with an equimolar amount of base to give salt and water
• A reaction between an acid and a base is called a neutralization reaction, and this can be considered to be a type of displacement reaction, where the proton of the acid is being displaced as it is given to another species
• Eg, $\underset{\mathrm{Acid}}{\underset{\mathrm{Hydrochloric}}{\mathrm{HCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}}+\underset{\mathrm{Base}}{\underset{\mathrm{Sodium}}{\mathrm{NaOH}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}}\to \underset{\mathrm{Neutral}\mathrm{salt}}{\mathrm{NaCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{water}}{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)}$

Thus, When acid or base reacts to form a neutral salt solution, the reaction is called Neutralisation Reaction
