Neutralization, the chemical reaction combining an acid with a base to produce a neutral solution, produces a salt and water.

Neutralization is a double displacement chemical reaction where an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water. The reaction only products neutral compounds and is reversible in nature.

Based on Arrhenius' acid and base theory, an acid  when dissolved in water produces positive hydrogen () ion and negative non-metal ions. A base when dissolved in water produces positive metal ions and negative hydroxide () ions. When an acid reacts with a base, the hydrogen ions react with the hydroxide ions to form water.

→

The metal and non-metal ions combine to form a neutral ionic compound, the salt.

Eg: Combination of Sodium Hydroxide () and hydrochloric acid () forms Water () and Common salt ()

a boiling water reactor does not boil the water. a pressurized water reactor boils the water faster. a pressurized water reactor is heated directly by the core. a pressurized water reactor does not use fission.
