Question

(a) Define neutralization reaction with an example.
(b) Give a balanced equation for this reaction.
(c) Give three applications of neutralization reactions.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and salt and involves the combination of hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions to generate water.

EX-When Sodium hydroxide is added to hydrochloric acid.

(b)NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O

(c) 1.Basic fertilizers are used to neutralize acid soils and acidic fertilizers are used to neutralize basic soils in agriculture.

2.Bee stings and ant stings, which are acidic, are commonly neutralized with basic baking powder. 3.Wasp sting is basic and is usually neutralized with vinegar.

Answer 2

Answer:

(a)Neutralization is a chemical process in which a acid and base reacts to form a salt and water.

(b)HCl+NaOH gives NaCl+H2O

(c)We use antacids to neutralize the stomach acidity.

Incase of a bee or a wasp sting we treat with a a vinegar to neutralize.

Incase if soil is acidic we treat it with quick lime to neutralize.
