Question

A neutralization reaction is a

• A. physical and reversible change.
• B. a physical change that cannot be reversed.
• C. chemical and reversible change.
• D. the chemical change that cannot be reversed.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

the chemical change that cannot be reversed.

1. A neutralization reaction can be defined as a chemical reaction in which an acid and base quantitatively react together to form salt and water as products.
2. A neutralization reaction is shortly given as, acid + base(alkali) → salt + water.
3. Salt and water are the irreversible chemical products that are formed at the end of a neutralization reaction. They can't be again converted into an acid and a base using physical methods.

Hence, the answer is (D) the chemical change that cannot be reversed.
