What happens to the corrosive properties of an acid and a base after they neutralize each other? Why?
The change and reason for change of corrosive properties of an acid and a base after neutralization.
Answer to Problem 2TE
The corrosive properties are not present because new products are formed after the neutralization. The new products are not so corrosive.
Explanation of Solution
The acids and bases possess corrosive properties. The corrosion is an oxidation reaction.
The acid and base on neutralization reaction form new products. The products of acid-base neutralization are salt and water.
The new products formed do not possess corrosive properties as they are not an acid or a base.
So, the corrosive properties are not present after the neutralization of an acid and a base.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the corrosive properties are not present because new products are formed after the neutralization. The new products are not so corrosive.
