During spills, contamination, in order to reduce the strength of acids
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
Neutralization reaction occurs when an acid and a base react with each other and cancel each other out, creating something that is neither an acid nor a base.
<em><u>Neutralization reactions are used in case of contamination and spills in the labs. As a safety measure acid spills are neutralized with sodium bicarbonate and then cleaned up with a paper towel or sponge.Weak acids are used to neutralize bases during contamination.</u></em>
