explain two neutralization reaction related to daily life situations
Answers
Answer:
Indigestion: Sometimes, the stomach produces too much hydrochloric acid, called hyperacidity, which causes indigestion. The acid is neutralised by taking a tablet (antacids) containing calcium carbonate, aluminium or sodium hydrogencarbonate.
Ant sting: When you are stung by an ant, the burning sensation on your skin is caused by methanoic acid. You can neutralise the acid by rubbing a dock leaf on the wound. As you press the dock leaf against the wound, a base in the leaf juices reacts with the acid in the sting and neutralises it so that the burning sensation stops.
1. When an ant or bee stings we apply calmine lotion , which is a base and neautrilizes the acid injected by the insect .
2. In case of acidity , we consume Eno as it is a base which neautrilizes the execess of hydrochloric acid in our stomach
