Explain two neutralisation reactions related to a daily life situation.

Soln:

A) Acidity

Acidity is caused in the stomach as indigestion releases a lot of acids. This can be controlled by taking antacids like milk of magnesia.

(b) Ant’s sting

Ant’s sting releases formic acid into the skin. It can be neutralised by rubbing baking soda or putting in calamine lotion.
