A neutralisation reaction occurs when ______ react with each other.
-
A.
salt and water
-
B.
two acids
-
C.
an acid and a base
-
D.
two bases
Correct Answer:
C. an acid and a base
Explanation:
A neutralisation reaction is a chemical process where an acid and a base interact with one another. During this reaction, the hydrogen ions (H+) from the acid combine with the hydroxide ions (OH-) from the base to form water (H2O). Additionally, the remaining ions from both substances combine to produce a salt. Because the acidic and basic properties cancel each other out, the resulting solution is typically neutral. Therefore, the correct answer is that an acid and a base react with each other.
