Define acid bases and neutralization reaction ?
Answers
Answer:
An Acid is any hydrogen-containing substance that is capable of donating a proton (hydrogen ion) to another substance. A base is a molecule or ion able to accept a hydrogen ion from an acid. Acidic substances are usually identified by their sour taste.
Base, any substance that in water solution is slippery to the touch, tastes bitter, changes the colour of indicators (e.g., turns red litmus paper blue), reacts with acids to form salts, and promotes certain chemical reactions (base catalysis).
Neutralisation is a reaction where an acid reacts with an alkali to form a neutral solution of a salt and water. Acid + Alkali → Salt + Water.
A neutralization reaction can be defined as a chemical reaction in which an acid and base quantitatively react together to form a salt and water as products. In a neutralization reaction, there is a combination of H+ ions and OH– ions which form water.
