What is a neutralization reaction? Give two examples.
Answers
Answer:
neutralization is a type of double replacement reaction. A salt is the product of an acid-base reaction and is a much broader term then common table salt as shown in the first reaction. The following are some examples of neutralization reactions to form salts.
Explanation:
(ii) During indigestion (caused due to the production of excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach), we administer an antacid (generally milk of magnesia,Mg(OH)2, which is basic in nature). The antacid neutralizes the excess of acids and thus gives relief from indigestion.
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. Sodium chloride and water are formed.
NaOH+HCl⟶NaCl+H2O
Example - 2: Milk of magnesia, which is a base, is given as antacid in the case of indigestion, to neutralize the more acid produced in the stomach.
Mg(OH) 2+2HCl⟶MgCl2+2H2O
