Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutralization reactions are typically considered to go to completion, especially in aqueous solutions where an acid reacts with a base to form water and a salt. They are not generally treated as equilibrium reactions because the products (water and a salt) do not readily react to reform the acid and base.
