What Is a Neutralisation Reaction? Give Examples
Chemistry Class 10:
BY Team Aakash Byju's
When an acid reacts with a base, the excess amount of hydroxyl ions present in a base neutralises the hydrogen (ag) ions present in the acid.
As the acid and base neutralise their effect, their reaction forms salt and water. This is called a neutralisation reaction.

When hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide solution, the products formed are salt and water.
Example 1
We know that metallic oxides and hydroxides are bases.
Example 2
