Which best describes a neutralization reaction?
a. a reaction between an acid and a base
b. a reaction between two acids
c. a reaction between a base and a salt
d. a reaction between two salts

A) a reaction between an acid and a base

Explanation: When an acid reacts with the base then it undergoes neutralization to form a salt and water.

An acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydrogen ion and have pH less than 7. A base is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion and has pH more than 7.

Salts are neutral compounds with pH equal to 7.

Example: Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide combines to give sodium chloride and water.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
