What is a neutralisation reaction? Give two examples

Explanation

Neutralisation reaction: The reaction between an acid and a base to give a salt and water is known as a neutralisation reaction. i.e.
Base + Acid `to` Salt+ Water
Examples:
(i) `underset("(Base)")(underset("Sodium Hydroxide")(NaOH(aq)))+ underset("(Acid)")(underset("Hydrochloric acid")(HCl(aq))) to underset("(Salt)")(underset("Sodium Chloride")(NaCl(aq)))+ underset("water")(H_(2)O(l))`
(ii) `underset("(Base)")(underset("Potassium Hydroxide")((2KOH))) + underset("Acid")(underset("Sulphuric acid")(H_(2)SO_(4))) to underset("(Salt)")(underset("Potassium Sulphate")(K_(2)SO_(4))) + underset("water")(2H_(2)O)`
