Flashcards

Neutralization Reaction

A chemical reaction where an acid and a base react to form products that have a pH closer to 7 than either of the reactants.

Double Displacement Reaction

A type of chemical reaction where the positive and negative ions of two reactants switch places.

What is the general chemical equation for a neutralization reaction?

A chemical reaction between an acid and a base that produces water and an ionic compound (salt) as the products.

What is pH?

The measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral.

Study Notes

Neutralization Reactions

  • Neutralization reactions occur when an acid and a base react, producing products with a pH closer to 7 than the initial reactants.
  • Most neutralization reactions are double displacement reactions.
  • The general chemical equation for a neutralization reaction is: Acid + Base → Water + Ionic Compound (ionic salt).
