Answer:
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. The neutralization of a strong acid and strong base has a pH equal to 7. Example – 1: When Sodium hydroxide is added to hydrochloric acid.
Answer
Neutralisation is a process in which the same amount of acid and base are mixed with or added with the same amount. In this process, the two substances namely Acid and Base are used.
When these two substances are added together, the other two substances forms namely the salt and water. This produced salt and water are neither acid nor base, they are called as neutral.
When acid is added to base, the acid destroys the power which was in base by it's power. Thus, nothings happens there. This change can also be classified as a chemical change in which a new substance is formed.
Examples of neutralization :
Hydrochloric acid mixes with sodium hydroxide and produces sodium chloride and water.
Dilute sulphuric acid mixes with lime water and forms calcium sulphate.
Hydrochloric acid mixes with magnisium hydroxide and produces magnesium chloride.
Hydrochloric acid mixes with potassium hydroxide and releases potassium chloride and water.
