Chapter 21, Problem 21.21QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical equation for the given neutralization has to be written.

Concept introduction:

Chemical equation:

• To represent a chemical reaction in a symbolic form is said to be chemical equation.
• In this equation we can represent reactants in left-hand side of the arrow mark and products in right-hand side of the arrow mark.
• We can put coefficients before the reactants and products to balance the equation.
• The first chemical equation was given by Jean Beguin in 1615.

Neutralization:

• Neutralization is a chemical reaction in which an acid and base reacts in equal amounts with each other.
• Neutralization reaction indicates that there is no excess amount of hydrogen ion or hydroxide ion in the reaction solution.
