Question
What happens when an acid reacts with a base?
Solution
When an acid reacts with a base, it nullifies the effect of the base. Such a reaction between an acid and a base to give a salt and water is known as a neutralisation reaction.
The reaction can be represented as given below.
Acid + Base → Salt + Water
