Definition:

Neutralisation is a reaction where an acid and a base mix and cancel each other.

It is like:

• Acid = too sour

• Base = too bitter

• When they mix → become safe and normal (neutral)

Simple Example

• Acid : Lemon juice

• Base : Baking soda

• When you mix them → it makes bubbles and becomes neutral.

What do we get after neutralisation?

1. Salt

2. Water

3. Sometimes heat

Acid + Base → Salt + Water

Real-life examples

• If you get acid on your hand, you wash with water and use something basic to make it neutral.

• Indigestion: Stomach has acid → you take an antacid (a base) to neutralise it.

Fun Fact

Bees sting with an acid.

Wasp stings are basic , you use the opposite to reduce pain!
