what is neutralisation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce a neutral solution!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A pH of 7 is neutral. An acid has a pH of less than 7. An acid is neutralised when it reacts with an alkali, a base a carbonate or a metal. When neutralisation is complete there is no more acid left, the pH is 7 and the solution will contain a neutral salt. Neutralisation reactions are exothermic.

Neutralization is the process of eliminating a base with an acid. or an acid with a base. It's a conversion of an acid or base into its conjugate form. acids can be neutralized by adding a strong base or a weak base. a Strong base in aqueous solutions are NaOH or KOH which release OH- ions into solution. A weak base is a base such as ammonia which goes from (NH3 to NH4+). Bases can be neutralized with a weak acid or base which include strong acids (HCl and other with assumed total dissociation) or weak acid (like acetic acid).
