Acids, Bases and Salts
Describe the process of neutralization with the help of an example.
Sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid neutralise each other and form salt and water.
When acid and base react with each other they undergo neutralization reaction to form salt and water.
Sodium hydroxide is a base and hydrochloric acid is an acid. Thus when they react together they undergo neutralization reaction to form salt and water.
$$NaOH + HCl \xrightarrow{Neutralization} NaCl+H_2O$$
Describe the process of neutralization with the help of an example.
Sodium carbonate is a basic salt because it is a salt of:
