Question
What is meant by neutralization? Give two examples from everyday life of the neutralization reaction.
✓
Answer
- In neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water.- In a neutralisation reaction the acid dissociates to form $H ^{+}$ions and base dissociates to form $OH$ ions.- They combine to form $H _2 O$ molecules which mixes with the solvent.
Examples in daily life:
When people suffer from acidity, they take some antacids to neutralise the acid in their stomach.
If an ant stings us the pain is due to formic acid. It is neutralised by rubbing moist baking soda which is basic in nature.
