Write a note on neutralisation reaction

Answer 1

Neutralization Reaction

• Neutralization is a type of chemical reaction in which a strong acid and strong base react with each other to form water and salt.
• Have you ever been unlucky enough to be stung by a wasp or a bee? Bee stings are acidicin nature, which is why a household remedy for a bee sting is baking soda or sodium bicarbonate, which is a basic substance.

• A wasp sting, on the other hand, is mildly basic, so a household remedy for this will be vinegar, also known as acetic acid.

• These simple treatments ease these painful stings by a process called neutralization.

• Heartburn, as well as an acidic stomach due to eating too much spicy food, can be relieved by taking an antacid.

• The antacid is alkaline/basic and helps neutralize the stomach's acidic environment.

• You may have used medicine to ease your heartburn via the process of neutralization.
