write any two applications of neutralisation reaction in our daily life?
Answers
Answer:
Vinegar is used to cure wasp stings that are alkaline in nature. Baking powder is used to cure bee stings and ant bites that are acidic in nature. Toothpaste contains bases that neutralise the acid produced by bacteria in our mouth. Baking powder is usually used to help the cakes rise.

The ant sting can be painful as it has formic acid. We can neutralise this acid effect and relieve the pain caused by the sting by using moist baking soda which is basic in nature.

When we eat food, the food molecules get decomposed by the action of the microorganisms present in the mouth. This further results in the formation of acid. This acid is majorly responsible for the tooth decay. Toothpaste is generally made by alkaline substances to make its nature basic. So, when you brush your teeth, this basic nature of the toothpaste reacts with the acid produced by the microorganisms, which causes tooth decay. As a result, the harmful effect of the acid is neutralised, and it stops the tooth decay.

Our hair is rough after a shampoo, but it gets shiny after using a conditioner. This happens because shampoo is basic in nature, and the conditioner is acidic. So, the conditioner neutralises its effect, and the hair becomes shiny.❤
