Reactions of acids and bases

 

Neutralisation 

Neutralisation is a chemical reaction between acid and base in which the products are salt and water.

In general, the chemical equation of neutralisation can be expressed as:

null

The neutralisation of a strong acid and a strong base results in a solution with a pH of 7.

Below are some examples of strong acids and bases.

We can simplify the chemical equation of neutralisation of  strong acid and base to the below ionic equation.

In the reaction of a weak acid and a weak base, complete neutralisation does not occur.
