Question

A bee stings a person. His mother applies baking soda on the affected area, which gives relief to the person. What type of chemical reaction is this?

Answer 1

Hey friend
here is your answer

The acid found in the bee string is formic acid i.e., HCOOH
when we a base like NaOH there took a neutralisation reaction which form salt and water and this provide sudden relief from pain

HCOOH + NaOH -----> HCOONa + H2O

glad to help you
hope it helps
thank you.

Answer 2

HOLA!!

___________

Here we go


A bee sting is acidic in nature.Baking soda (NaHCO3) is basic in nature.


ACID + BASE = ?

We know that acid + base ---> salt + Water.

Here acid and base reacts so that it gets neutralized.

I mean if we apply base over an acidic surface, that surface is now neutralized.

or

If we apply acid over basic surface that surface is now neutralised.

TYPE OF CHEMICAL REACTION


This type of chemical reaction is called 'Neutrialisation'.
