Neutralization is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react and produce salt and water. Neutralization is exothermic, meaning it produces heat.Most generally, the following occurs:
Acid + Base ⇒ Salt + Water ΔH = -C (where C is positive)
For example, the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide:

HCl + NaOH >>> NaCl + H2O
