Question

During neutralisation reaction H ion comes from _________ and OH ion comes from ________ respectively, to form a water molecule?

• A. acid; salts
• B. base: acid
• C. acid; base
• D. salts; base

Answer 1

Answer:

C. acid; base

• In a neutralization reaction, H+ ions come from acid and OH- ions come from base to form water molecule.

• This formation of water is the key to the neutralization process, as it reduces the concentration of both H⁺ and OH⁻ ions in the solution, moving the pH towards neutral (pH 7).

• The other product of a neutralization reaction is a salt, which is formed from the cation of the base and the anion of the acid
