Answer 1

★᭄ꦿ᭄Answer★᭄ꦿ᭄

The neutralization reaction is the one in which an acid reacts with an equimolar amount of base to give salt and water. In neutralization reactions, the H+ of the acid combines with OH− ions of the base to form water and other reactants form the specific salt. The neutralization reaction has a pH of 7.

Answer 2

Acids react with bases to produce salt and water. In this reaction, an acid neutralises a, i.e. acid nullifiles or reduces the effect of a base or vice-versa, thus the reaction is known as neutralization reaction.

In general, neutralization reaction can be written as:

Base + Acid -----> Salt + Water

H (X + M) OH -----> MX + HOH

Here, H represents hydrogen atom and M represents metal atom.

H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) -----> H20(l)

Eg. NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) -----> NaCl(aq) + H20(l)

[Sodium hydroxide + Hydrochloric acid----->Sodium Chloride +Water ]
