Question

Describe the process of neutralization with a help of an

example. Mention its one use in everyday life.​

Answer 1

The reaction between an acid and a base is known as neutralisation. Salt and water are produced in this process with the evolution of heat. Antacids like milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide), baking soda, etc.

Answer 2

Neutralization

The phenomena in which acid and base react together to form salt and water thereby neutralizing each other is known as neutralization.

• They good also cancel each other effect.

Example

• HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → H 2O(l) + KCl(aq)

Here hydrochloric acid reacts with potassium hydroxide they both neutralize each other and therefore water and potassium chloride are produced.

Daily life use

• When we have a quick glance and its usage in the field of medicine a common problem of acidity faced by people is cured using this neutralization phenomena.

• The acid produced in our stomach is usually cured by taking an antacid that is made up of basic components . earlier magnesium hydroxide was taken and it is basic in nature.

Extra information

• acid always has a lower PH less than 7.

• Bases has pH more than 7.

• The product formed that is water has pH of 7 and is neutral in nature.
