Question

Acerbic reacts with bases to give salt and water. This reaction is called:
A. Neutralization
B. Decomposition
C. Combustion
D. Displacement

Answer 1

The process of extracting salt and water after reaction of acid and base is called neutralization.
As in neutralisation, hydrogen ion from acid combines with hydroxide ion from base to form salt and water.
So, we can take an example of,
$HCl + NaOH \longrightarrow NaCl + {H_2}O$

Complete step by step solution:
When acerbic fuse with bases it gives salt and water. This reaction is called Hydrogen ion made acerbic mixed with hydroxide ions of base to give salt and water.
The following combination shows neutralization reaction:
$HCl + NaOH \longrightarrow NaCl + {H_2}O$
Hence,from the above reaction, we can easily observe that, here we get salt in addition to water.
So, we can say that the above process will be neutralization.

**Hence the option A is the correct option.

Additional information:**
1. In neutralization reaction, the reactants give salt and water:$HCl + NaOH \longrightarrow NaCl + {H_2}O$
2. In decomposition, a compound is broken into simpler substances:$AB \longrightarrow A + B$
3. In combustion, the substance reacts with ${O_2}$ and gives ${H_2}O$ product:
So, we can analysis that,
$C{H_4} + {O_2} \to C{O_2} + {H_2}O$
4. In displacement reaction, the atom is replaced by another atom in a molecule:
$Mg + Zn{(N{O_3})_2} \to Mg{(N{O_3})_2} + Zn$

Note:
1. The neutralization reaction only gives salt and water.
2. The above chemical reaction between acid and base reacts quantitatively .while when with water it produces no excess of hydrogen or its oxides.
3. When acid and base fuse it is known as neutralization reaction it happens due to extraction of water molecules. When two of them react and neutralise each other it is called a neutralization reaction.
