What is a neutralisation reaction? Give two examples.

A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid and a base react with each other, neutralizing each other's effect and producing salt and water.

Examples: 

NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H₂O (l)

HNO₃ (aq) + KOH (aq)  → KNO₃ (aq) +  H₂O (l)

Final answer:

A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid and a base react with each other, neutralizing each other's effect and producing salt and water.
