Answer:
The reaction between an acid and a base is known as
neutralization reaction. In this reaction, both acid and base cancel each
other's effect. Neutralization reaction result in the formation of salt and
water. During this reaction, energy in the form of heat is evolved.
\[Acid+Base\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}Salt+Water+Heat\uparrow
\]
e.g. When sodium hydroxide \[\left( NaOH \right)\]
is added to hydrochloric acid \[\left( HCl \right)\], sodium chloride \[\left(
NaCl \right)\] and water \[({{H}_{2}}O)\] are obtained.
\[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
Sodium \\
hydroxide
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{NaOH}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
Hydrochloric \\
acid
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{HCl}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
Sodium \\
Chloride
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{NaCl}}\,+\underset{Water}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}O}}\,+Heat\uparrow
\]
