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 H2O 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.
