GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An acid and alkali will neutralise each other and produce a salt and water. This is called a neutralisation reaction. The name of the salt produced can be worked out from the names of the acid and the alkali. Chemical equations can be written to describe a neutralisation reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -An acid-alkali neutralisation is the reaction between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions, forming water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neutralisation reactions A neutralisation reaction is a reaction between an acid and a base. Remember: acids in solution are sources of hydrogen ions, H. alkalis in solution are sources of hydroxide ions, OH.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neutralization is an exothermic reaction.
