Why do we call them "Neutralization reaction"?This is section 2.6 Chemical Reactions

Only some reactions are called neutralization reactions. The most common are acid-base reactions, and the reason is that the consequence of the reaction is the acidity of the acid is reduced, and the basicity of the base is reduced.

A canonical example would be HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O. The HCl solution is a very strong acid, e.g. it will react strongly with many things, including your skin if you get it on you. Same for the NaOH solution. However the result, for an equimolar reaction, would just be a solution of table salt (NaCl) in water, which has almost zero reactivity with anything. You can drink it. So we say in this reaction the acid and base have both been "neutralized" -- their potent powers eliminated... hope this helps!

What kind of chemical bonds are represented by the product in the following diagram?
katovenus [111]
The chemical bonds in CH4 are all single bonds. C only can bond 4 times because it needs 8 electrons in it's outer shell and only has four right now. The bonds represented are all single bonds because there are two electrons present on each side of the carbon. Two electrons, in this case, equals one bond.

Which of the following describes a property of water that helps sustain marine life forms?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Open spaces in water's solid structure makes its solid state less dense than its liquid state.

Explanation:

  • Water unlike other liquids is special. It contracts when cooled, down to a temperature of 4°C but thereafter begins to expand as it reaches 0°C and turns into ice.
  • This property is useful for the preservation of marine life in very cold temperatures. During winter, the surface water in water lakes and rivers starts cooling. Upon reaching the temperature of 4°C, the surface water descends to the bottom as it denser.
  • This help in the maintenance of temperature of the water at the bottom at 4°C. It is in this layer that marine life is sustained.
