Exploring Salts and Antacids

The video explains the process of neutralization, where an acid and a base react to form a salt and water, losing their original properties. It highlights the formation of a neutral compound, salt, from the ions of the acid and base. An example is provided using an antacid tablet, which neutralizes excess stomach acid, forming salt and water, and alleviating discomfort by normalizing pH levels.

Give an example of a neutralization reaction.
