Answer 1

Neutralisation reaction

• The reaction between an acid and a base is known as a neutralization reaction.
• Salt and water are produced in this process with the evolution of heat.
• The general reaction is as follows,
• $\mathrm{Acid}+\mathrm{Base}\to \mathrm{Salt}+\mathrm{Water}$

Example

• Considering the reaction of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide to give sodium chloride and water as the product.
• The reaction is as follows,

$\mathrm{HCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+\mathrm{NaOH}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)\to \mathrm{NaCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)$
