What is a neutralization reaction?

A. A reaction that Involves neutral reactants

B. A reaction that removes essentially all H + and OH-

C. a reaction in which the reactants are a salt and water

D. A reaction in which the products is either acidic or basic

Option B. A reaction that removes essentially all H + and OH-

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction is a reaction involving acid and base to form salt and water only. In this reaction, the H + from the acid is completely neutralize by the OH-

From the base. Hence, we can a neutralization reaction is a reaction that removes the H + and OH - from reactant to form water. This is illustrated below

NaOH + HCl - > NaCl + H2O

Ionically:

OH - + H + - > H2O

From the above, we see clearly that the reaction removed the H + from the acid and OH - from the base to form water.
