When acids and bases react, they result in the formation of salt and water as product and this reaction is called neutralization reaction. In our everyday life we come across many situations which involve neutralization reactions. The following examples will illustrate common neutralization reactions that occur around us.During indigestion, too much of acid is produced inside the stomach resulting in stomach disorder or acidity. In order to retrieve the pain we take bases such as milk of magnesia which contains magnesium hydroxide. Taking a base neutralizes the effect of excess acid.Second is the effect of ant sting which is caused by formic acid which is neutralized by rubbing moist baking soda (basic in nature) which contains zinc carbonate.
