Answer:
When acids and bases react, they result in the formation of salt and water as product and this reaction is called neutralization reaction.
Explanation:
In our everyday life we come across many situations which involve neutralization reactions. The following examples will illustrate common neutralization reactions that occur around us. During indigestion, too much of acid is produced inside the stomach resulting in stomach disorder or acidity. In order to retrieve the pain we take bases such as milk of magnesia which contains magnesium hydroxide. Taking a base neutralizes the effect of excess acid.
The reaction between an acid and a base is termed as neutralization reaction. This is because when an acid reacts with a base, they cancel out or nullify each other. In general it can be represented as:
Acid+Base→Salt+Water
When a person is suffering from acidity, he is advised to take antacid tablets. This is because the excessive acid present in the stomach is nullified by basic nature of antacids .
When an ant bites us, we apply calamine solution to it . This is because the acid [Formic Acid] secreted by ant is nullified by basic nature of calamine solution.
