Why does the neutralization of an acid by a base often produce water?
Solution
Neutralisation refers to a reaction between an acid and a Base. This reaction often results in the
production of water. It is due to a fact that an acid liberates H+ ions while as a Base releases OH-
ions. These ions combine to form water.
For example:
HCl(aq) H+(aq) + Cl(aq)
NaOH(aq) Na+(aq) + OH(aq)
HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O.
