Acids, Bases and Salts
Sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid neutralise each other and form salt and water.
Describe the process of neutralization with the help of an example.
The reaction between an acid and a base is known as neutralization. Salt and water are produced in this process with the evolution of heat.
Example:
$$HCl+NaOH \longrightarrow NaCl+ H_2O$$
Sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid neutralise each other and form salt and water.
Sodium carbonate is a basic salt because it is a salt of:
