ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
Neutralization reactions constitute reactions where the acid and base combine to generate the products, salt and water. These reactions form an important part of acid-base titrations.
The strong electrolytes are indicated as ions in the equation termed net ionic equation. The spectator ions are ruled out in the net ionic equations.
