Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: if an acid is combined with a base of equal strength, the result will mostly form a neutral salt solution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Neutralization Reactions When a strong acid and a strong base are combined in the proper amounts-when [H+] equals [OH−])-a neutral solution results in which pH = 7. The acid and base have neutralized each other, and the acidic and basic properties are no longer present.
Detailed explanation-3: -When an acid reacts with a base, salt is formed along with water. This reaction is known as the Neutralization reaction. Neutralization reactions are highly exothermic in nature. Thus, the temperature of the reaction increases.
Detailed explanation-4: -The strength of an acid refers to its ability or tendency to lose a proton or its degree of ionisation. A strong acid ionises completely in an aqueous solution, giving rise to maximum concentration of hydronium ions, e.g., HCl, H 2 SO 4 and HNO 3 .
