Question

Neutralization is a process that occurs whenever an acid reacts with a base in the mole ratios specified by the balanced equation. however, not all neutralization reactions produce neutral solutions. what factors can determine the outcome of a neutralization reaction?

Answer 1

The factors that can determine the outcome of a "neutralization reaction" include:
__________________________________________________________
1) temperature; 

2) concentration (of the solution); 

3) type of acid used;

4) type of alkali used;

5) type of reaction; 
     (e.g. whether the reaction is "endothermic" or "exothermic");
