Answer:

Please find the definition and example of neutralization reaction below

Step-by-step explanation:

In chemistry, neutralization reaction is a type of reaction involving a base and an acid to form salt and water. In other words, when an acid and a base comes together chemically to form a salt and water, a neutralization reaction is said to occur.

For example; in a reaction between sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) as follows:

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(s) + H2O(l)

In this neutralization reaction, the HCk is the acid while the NaOH is the base (reactants). For the products, the NaCl is the salt while H2O is water.
