A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base, resulting in the formation of water and a salt. The acid donates protons (H+) to the base, which accepts them, leading to neutralization.
A structure used in electrochemical cells to allow ions to flow between half-cells without mixing solutions.
The study of the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions.
A reaction that releases heat energy to its surroundings. Neutralization reactions are often exothermic.
