Question

Why industrial wastes are neutralized before releasing into water?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The hermit didn't answer the king's questions immediately as he wanted the king to experience his(hermit) answer instead of learning it theoretically by listening to it. Also, this helped the king understand the answer given by the hermit much more clearly.

Answer 2

Required Answer:

Industrial wastes are neutralized before releasing in water because if they are released without releasing into water then it'll cause harm to marine and aquatic life. Industrial wastes contain many harmful acidic substances which can destroy aquatic plants and animals. Also, it causes pollution. That's why industrial wastes are neutralized before releasing into water.

$\underline{ \underline{ \Large \pmb{\bf{ {A \; little \,further!!}} }} }$

• Neutralization is the reaction between acid and base to form salt and water and heat evolved in this reaction.

$\bigstar \: \boxed{\sf {Acid + Base \longrightarrow Salt + Water + Heat \uparrow }}$

• Example :When hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride and water is formed and heat is evolved.

$\bigstar \: \boxed{\sf {HCl + NaOH \longrightarrow H_2O + NaCl }}$
