Question
What is produced if an acid is added to a base?
Advertisements
Solution
When an acid is reacted with a base, the base neutralises the acid, thereby eliminating its acidity. The interaction between an acid and a base, which neutralises their respective effects to produce salt and water, is termed a neutralisation reaction.
