Neutralization
When an acid reacts with an alkali (or vice versa) it is called neutralisation.
The word is "salt." When an acid reacts with a base (alkali), a neutralization reaction occurs, forming a salt and water.
When an alkali tablet, such as an antacid, reacts with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid), it neutralizes the acid by forming water and a salt. This reaction helps to alleviate symptoms of acid indigestion or heartburn by reducing the acidity in the stomach.

Acid + alkali ---> Salt + Water for exampleSodium Hydroxide + Hydrochloric Acid ---> Sodium Chloride + Water
neutralization
When an acid reacts with an alkali, the two products formed are salt and water. This reaction is called neutralization, where the acid donates a proton (H+) to the alkali to form water, and the remaining ions from the acid and alkali combine to form a salt.
A chemical reaction. . Acid + alkali = salt + water . eg H 2 SO 4 + 2NaOH = Na 2 SO 4 + 2H 2 O
Total mass remains the same according to the law of conservation of mass.
The reaction between an acid and an alkali is known as a neutralization reaction. In this reaction, the acid reacts with the alkali to form water and a salt.
When an alkali tablet, such as an antacid, reacts with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid), it neutralizes the acid by forming water and a salt. This reaction helps to alleviate symptoms of acid indigestion or heartburn by reducing the acidity in the stomach.
It is commonly called 'neutralisation' and the resultant chemical compounds are 'a salt' and 'water'.
