Question

What are neutralization reactions? Why are they named so? Give one example?

Answer 1

When a acid and base react it produce water and salt. This process is called neutralization. In this reaction a neutral solution is formed so, it is named like that. eg: Ant bites and injects formic acid, is cured by calamine  which is a base. In factories they treat the chemicals by neutralization and let out in the water bodies.

Answer 2

Answer:

A chemical reaction in which an acid and a base interact quantitatively is known as neutralisation.

Explanation:

• By neutralising a reaction in water, surplus hydrogen or hydroxide ions are removed from the solution.
• Depending on how powerful the acid and base are in a reaction, there are four different types of neutralisation reactions.
• Both strong bases and strong acids.
• Weak Bases and Strong Acids.
• Strong Bases and Weak Acids.
• Weak Bases and Acids.
• An example is the neutralisation of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid to produce sodium chloride and water
• NaOH + HCl ---> NaCl + H2O

A chemical reaction in which a base and an acid react to form a salt is a neutralisation reaction.
