Describe the characteristics of a neutralization reaction, how it is identified, and the types of compounds in the reactants and products. give an example in your response

Neutralization reaction is a reaction between an acid and a base.  In general, when the reaction is performed in aqueous media, produce water and salt.

Explanation:

Arrhenius defined a base as a substance who forms OH- ions. Bronsted, define it as an proton acceptor.

On the other hand Arrhenius defined an acid as a substance who form H+ ions. Breonsted define it as proton donor.

Acid + base > salt +  water

A salt is an ionic compund formed by a cation and anion. All salts are strong electrolytes. An example of a neutralization reaction is:

HCl (ac) + NaOH (ac) > NaCl (ac) + H2O(l)

Nevertheless, because the acid and the base are strong electrolytes, in water they are completely dissolved actually look like this:

H+ (ac) + Cl(ac) + Na+(ac)  + OH-(ac) > Na+(ac) + Cl-(ac) + H2O(l)

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
