Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A neutralisation reaction is a chemical reaction between an acid and base dissolved in water. For example.
`KOH(aq) + HNO_(3)(aq) to KNO_(3)(aq) + H_(2)O(aq)`
It is called neutralisation as both `KNO_(3)` (salt) and `H_(2)O` that are formed as the products, are of neutral nature.
