Neutralization

Neutralization is a chemical reaction, also called a water forming reaction, in which an salt and water(H₂O). In other words, it can be said that neutralization is the combination of salt is formed. In the process of neutralization a base is a proton receiver. H₂O can act as either an acid or a base, depending on whether it comes in contact with an acid or a base (it takes the opposite form) Neutralization is generally heat. One example of an endothermic neutralization is that of baking soda and vinegar (or other weak acids)
