Question

The neutralization reaction between an acid and a base is a type of:

a) Double displacement reaction

b) Displacement reaction

c) Addition reaction

d) Decomposition reaction​

Answer 1

Answer:

a)

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction is a double displacement reaction taking place between the acids and the bases.

Answer 2

The neutralization reaction between an acid and a base is a type of: a) Double displacement reaction

• Neutralization reaction between acid and base is called so as no excess hydrogen and hydroxyl ions remain after the reaction.
• This chemical reaction results in production of salt and water.
• Since ions from both acid and base displace to form new products, it is double displacement reaction.
• Example of neutralization reaction is - NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O. Here, NaOH is base and HCl is acid. NaCl is salt and H2O represents water.
