A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt and involves the combination of H+ ions and OH- ions to generate water. The neutralization of a strong acid and strong base has a pH equal to 7.

  • New substances called SALTS and water are formed in neutralization reactions.
  • For example, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution react together to form water and sodium chloride solution. The H+ ions and OH– ions produce the water, and the Na+ ions and Cl– ions produce the sodium chloride, NaCl(aq).
