What is Neutralization?
Neutralization is the term used for the reaction between acid and alkali. It is the process in which acid reacts with base or alkali and forms water and salt involving the hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH–) in the process of formation of water molecules. This reaction is a double displacement reaction, where generally radical ions from acid and metal ions from alkali are combined together to form a salt.
Neutralization Reaction
Neutralization Reaction, in chemistry, is a reaction between acid and alkali to produce salt and water. The natural world exhibits pairs that complement and sometimes neutralize each other. For instance, if there is poison, there is also an antidote, and if there is fire, there is also water, which can be regarded as its polar opposite that can neutralize the effect of one another. Life and death are other examples of this complementary pairing. In chemistry, a complementary pair known as Acid-Base exists, which neutralizes each other’s effects and behaves oppositely when treated with various common substances.
