Neutralization ReactionsWhen acids and bases with equal amounts of
hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) are mixed, the resulting solution is neutral.
NaOH + HCl NaCl + H2O base acid salt waterCa(OH)2 + HCl CaCl2 + 2H2Obase acid salt water
NeutralizationH3O+ and OH- combine to produce water
H3O+ + OH- 2 H2Ofrom from wateracid base
Net Ionic Equation:H+ + OH- H2O
