Acid-base Reactions
Neutralisation Reaction
Neutralisation reaction is one of
the most common type of reaction involving acids and
alkalis.
In qualitative analysis, a dilute
acid is often added to remove hydroxide ions from a
mixture or solution by neutralisation reaction or vice
versa.
In a neutralisation reaction, an
acid reacts with an alkali to produce a salt and water.
For example:
HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) -----> NaCl (aq) + H2O
