What happens to (a) the H+ ions, and (b) temperature of the solution, when an acid is neutralized?

• During neutralization reaction, H+ ions combine with OH- ions and converted to The reaction can be represented as

Acid + Base → Salt + Water

For eg: NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O

• As neutralization is an exothermic reaction the temperature of the solution increases when heat is produced
