Chemistry Coursework Background: When an acid reacts with a base or alkali, a neutral solution is formed which contains salt and water. This is known as a neutralisation reaction. The general formula for these reactions is Acid + Base Salt + Water During a chemical reaction the chemical bonds between atoms are made and broken as they are formed into new compounds. Energy has to be put in to break a bond and therefore taken in to make new ones this is why some reactions are exothermic (making bonds) and endothermic (breaking bonds). If you add an acid solution to an alkaline solution the two will react and neutralise each other forming a salt. The resulting solution will only be neutral if the two are present in exactly the right quantities. If there is more of one than the other then the solution will be either more acidic or more alkali.
