Question

What name is given to the reaction between hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions?
A Hydrogenation
B Hydroxylation
C Hydrolysis
D Neutralization

Answer 1

Hint: A chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react proportionally with one other is known as neutralization. In a water reaction, neutralization ensures that there are no extra hydrogen or hydroxide ions produced in the solution.

Complete Answer:
For the given question, the chemical reaction involved can be written as
\[{H^ + } + O{H^ - }\underset {} \leftrightarrows {H_2}O\] this reaction is a neutralization reaction.
Hence option D is the correct answer.
The term "neutralization" is used in the context of a chemical reaction between an acid and a base or alkali. This reaction has been depicted in the past as
acid + base (alkali) → salt + water
When neutralizing an acid, the amount of base added must be equal to the amount of acid present at the start. This foundation amount is referred to as the equal amount. The equivalence point in an acid-base titration is also known as the point of neutralization. The quantitative nature of the neutralization reaction is best represented in terms of acid and alkali concentrations.
When food travels from our stomach to our intestines, it must be neutralized. However, an alkaline environment is essential for nutrients to be absorbed via the intestinal walls. To achieve this favorable state, antacid bicarbonate is created.
Lime is used by farmers to neutralize acidic soils (calcium oxide). In the gut, there is hydrochloric acid, and too much of it causes indigestion. Antacid pills contain bases like magnesium hydroxide and magnesium carbonate to neutralize excess acid.

Hence option D is the correct answer.

Note:
Net neutralization reactions of ionic equations include solid bases, solid salts, water, and solid acids. The reaction between an acid and a base that forms water and salt is neutralization. Solid acids, solid bases, solid salts, and water can provide net ionic equations for neutralization reactions.
