Chapter 13, Problem 13.1YT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical equation for the neutralization of the given acid and base is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Neutralization is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react to form their respective salts and involvement of ${\text{H}}^{+}$ and ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ forms water. Generally, the reaction is represented as:

$\text{Acid}+\text{Base}\to \text{ Salt + Water}$

When a solution is neutralized, it means the respective salt is formed from equal weight of both, the acid and the base. The salt formed from neutralization reaction is neither acidic nor basic in nature.
