Neutralization Reaction Definition Class 10 Science A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid and a base react together. As acids and bases react, salt and water are produced as byproducts. Energy is also created throughout the process. The general equation for the neutralizing reaction is as follows: Acid + Base → Salt + Water Examples of Neutralization Reactions Examples of neutralization reactions are given below: 1. Sodium chloride and water are made from a combination of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O 2. In the case of indigestion, milk of magnesia, a base, is administered as an antacid to neutralize the excess acid created in the stomach. Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + 2H2O Acids, Bases, and Ions When an acid dissolves in water, it creates positive hydrogen ions (H+) and negative nonmetal ions. (Ions get charged atoms that have lost or gained electrons.) An example of an acid is hydrochloric acid (HCl). HCl creates positive hydrogen ions and negativ
