Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`ast` If `H^(+)` any acid appears on either side of the chemical equation, the reaction occurs in acidic solution .
`ast` If `OH^(-)` or any base appears on either side of the chemical equation, the reaction occurs in basic solution.
`ast` If neither `H^(+),OH^(-)` nor any acid or base is present in the chemical equation, the solution in neutral.
