Answer: is neither an acid nor a base
Explanation: Water is a universal solvent which means it can dissolve most of the substances in it.
Water has high thermal heat capacity , which means large heat is required to heat the water.
Water is not always pure as it gets contaminated by various pollutants present in the atmosphere such as gases, bacteria and suspended matter.
Water is an amphoteric substance which can act as both acid and base, thus can donate and acept [texH^+[/tex] ions.Thus it is neither an acid nor a base.

Here water is accepting a proton, thus it acts as base.

Here water is donating a proton, thus it acts as acid.
Answer:
Neutralization
Explanation:
When an acid react with base it form the salt and water. The reaction is also called neutralization reaction because both neutralize each other.
In neutralization reaction equal amount of acid and base react to neutralize each other and equal amount of water and salt are formed. When pH does not reach to 7 its means there is less amount of one of reactant which is not fully neutralize.
Neutralization reactions are also used as first aid. For example when someone is dealing with HCl for cleaning purpose of toilet and get touched. It is advised to neutralize it with soap, milk or egg white.
Example:
Hydrochloric acid when react with the sodium hydroxide, a salt sodium chloride and water are formed.
Chemical equation:
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
Titration:
Neutralization reactions are also used to determine the concentration of solution. Titration is a quantitative technique in which acid or base is gradually added into the solution whose concentration is to be determine until the neutral point is reached.
We determine the limiting reactant by using the moles present in the equation and the actual moles.
According to equation, ratio of Fe₂O₃ : Al = 1 : 2
Actual moles of Fe₂O₃ = 187.3 / (56 x 2 + 16 x 3)
= 1.17
Actual moles of Al = 94.51 / 27
= 3.5
Fe₂O₃ is limiting. Fe₂O₃ required:
(moles Al)/2 = 3.5/2 = 1.75
Moles to be added = 1.75 - 1.17
= 0.58
Mass to be added = moles x Mr
= 0.58 x (56 x 2 + 16 x 3)
= 92.8 grams
The answer is b
