Give 5 day to day real life example of double decomposition reaction by neutralisation
Solution:
(i) During indigestion, the stomach produces an excess hydrochloric acid. The acid is neutralised by taking a tablet (antacids) containing magnesium hydroxide and sodium hydrogen carbonate.
(ii) The burning sensation on ant bite is caused by methanoic acid. Rubbing a dock leaf against the bite releases a base that reacts with the acid in the sting and neutralizes it.
(iii) Combining vinegar and baking soda to create a homemade volcano.
(iv) Brushing teeth with basic toothpaste is an example of a neutralization reaction. The food decaying in our teeth forms an acid that causes teeth decay. The basic nature of the toothpaste neutralizes the acid released by the food present in the mouth.
(v) The hair feels rough and tangled after washing them with shampoo because the shampoo is mildly alkaline in nature. This can be resolved by applying conditioner that are mild acids that neutralize the alkaline nature of the hair and restores smoothness.
