Interpretation : The general word equation for a neutralization reaction.
Concept Introduction : Acids are substances that contain hydrogen and ionize to produce hydrogen ions
Answer to Problem 70A
The general word equation for the neutralization reaction is given as:
Explanation of Solution
Salt and water are created when bases and acids react.
A strong acid and strong base react completely to form a neutral solution. A neutralization reaction is a name for this kind of reaction.
The general word equation for the neutralization reaction is given as:
Consider the acid-base reaction that takes place between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide giving sodium chloride salt and water.
When there are an equal number of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in the solution, the reaction between an acid and a base will be completed.
The mole ratio of the above reaction is
