help of suitable examples explain the term neutralization and the
formation of:-
(i) acidic
(ii) basic and

This question came in 2019 Board exam Class 10th

Answer 1

Hey! mate

here is ur answer

Acid dissociate H+ ions in aqueous solution & turns blue litmus to red while base dissociate OH- ion in aqueous solution & turns red litmus to blue.

Neutralization is the process in which neutral salt are formed when acid & base reacts with each other.

Ex - NaOH + HCl---> NaCl+ H2O

Formation of

I) acidic salt

when strong acid react with weak base , acidic salt is formed.

ii) basic salt

when weak acid react with strong base, basic salt is formed.

Ex- NaOH + HCO3----> NaHCO3 + H2O

iii)Neutral salt

when strong acid react with strong base or weak acid react with weak base,neutral salt is formed.

Ex- NaOH + HCl----> NaCl + H2O
