Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary role of a base in a neutralization reaction?
  • Step 1: Understand that a neutralization reaction involves an acid and a base.
  • Step 2: Know that an acid donates protons (H+ ions) in a reaction.
  • Step 3: Recognize that a base accepts these protons during the reaction.
  • Step 4: Realize that when the base accepts protons from the acid, it helps to neutralize the acid.
  • Step 5: Learn that the result of this reaction is the formation of water and a salt.
