What happens to the H+ ions, of the solution, when an acid is neutralised?
Advertisements
उत्तर
When a base is added to an acid, it neutralises the acid and removes H+ ions, forming water. During a neutralisation reaction, the H+ ions of an acid are converted into water.
The reaction can be represented as follows.
\[\ce{Acid + Base -> Salt + Water}\]
When sodium hydroxide is treated with hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride and water are produced.
\[\ce{NaOH_{(aq)} + HCl_{(aq)} -> NaCl_{(aq)} + H2O_{(l)}}\]
