 * Neutralization Reaction: **A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid and a base (usually both are in acqueous solutions) react to form water and a salt, which do not exhibit any of the acid or base properties. An acid is identified by being paired with a hydrogen ion and a base is identified by being paired with a hydroxide group.

Neutralization occurs when an acid and a base react. The acid and base neutralize each other and water and salt are produced. The salt is the product along with water, not just limited to the common table salt. (Acid + Base --> Salt + Water) Because water is produced, neutralization is considered a "Water-Forming Reaction."

Justin S 1. Brushing your teeth with toothpaste is a real life example of a neutralization reaction because toothpaste is an alkaline substance that neutralizes the acid the foods that we eat everyday. [] 2.When an ant stings on the skin and baking soda is applied on the skin for relief, neutralization takes place. Ant sting is acidic and baking soda is basic. Wasp stings on the other hand is basic and vinegar is used for relief on wasp sting. []

 1. The active ingredient in Milk of Magnesia is magnesium hydroxide. What is the formula for this ingredient?  2. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid (as demonstrated in the video).  3. What is the purpose of the cabbage juice in experiment shown?  4. Describe the changes in the pH that occur in the reaction shown in the video.

Mattd. answers 1 Mg(OH)2 2 Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + 2H20 3 To act as an indicator. its the reason it changes to purple 4 Magnesium is a base and the hydrochloric is and acid they cancel each other out making a neutral solution.
