Common Acids and Bases 🔗


Balancing Reactions 🔗

\begin{aligned} NaOH + HCl \rightarrow NaCl + H_{2}O \end{aligned}


Neutralisation Reaction 🔗

A reaction between acid and base is called a neutralisation reaction.

\begin{aligned} acid + base &\rightarrow salt + water \newline \text{hydrochloric acid} + \text{sodium hydroxide} &\rightarrow \text{sodium chloride} + water \newline HCl + NaOH &\rightarrow NaCl + H_{2}O \end{aligned}
