Neutralization is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react together to form a salt and water, canceling out each other's properties. This reaction matters because it allows us to safely handle dangerous acidic or basic substances by converting them into neutral compounds, and it's essential in many practical applications from cleaning to food preparation.

Encyclopedic overview
Animation of a strong acid–strong base neutralization titration (using phenolphthalein). The equivalence point is marked in red. In chemistry, neutralization or neutralisation (see spelling differences) is a chemical reaction in which acid and a base react with an equivalent quantity of each other. In a reaction in water, neutralization results in there being no excess of hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution. The pH of the neutralized solution depends on the acid strength of the reactants.
