What is meant by a neutralization reaction?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The reaction of an acid and a base is called a neutralisation reaction.<\/strong> In this reaction, the acidity of an acid is neutralised by an alkali. At the same time, the alkalinity of the alkali is neutralised by the acid. A salt and water are the only products of a neutralisation reaction.

What happens in a neutralization reaction?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. A neutralisation reaction occurs when an alkali reacts with an acid to form a salt and water.
    \nFor example:
    \n\"What<\/li>\n
  2. (a) Acidic solutions contain hydrogen ions. Alkaline solutions contain hydroxide ions.
    \n(b) When an alkali is added to an acid to neutralise the acid, it is the hydroxide ion which combines with the hydrogen ion and \u2018cancel each other out\u2019. A water molecule is formed.
    \nH+<\/sup>(aq) + OH–<\/sup>(aq) \u2192\u00a0H2<\/sub>O(l)
    \nThe above ionic equation shows what happens in a neutralisation reaction.<\/li>\n
  3. When writing equations involving the neutralisation of ammonia solution by different acids, do not show the formation of water.
    \nFor example:
