🧪 Neutralization Reaction — Description
A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water. It is one of the most important acid–base reactions in chemistry.
General equation:
Acid + Base → Salt + Water
Example:
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
In this reaction, the acidic and basic properties are neutralized. Neutralization reactions are commonly used in antacids, agriculture, wastewater treatment, and controlling soil acidity.
