Neutralization (chemistry) - Non-aqueous Reactions

Non-aqueous Reactions

In non-aqueous reactions, water is less likely to be formed; however, there is always a donation of protons (see Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory). Since a variety of definitions of acids and bases exist, a variety of reactions may be considered neutralization reactions. All of the following may be considered neutralization reactions under different definitions:

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
2HCl + Mg → MgCl2 + H2
2HCO2H + MgO → Mg(HCO2)2 + H2O
HF + NH3 → NH4F

Famous quotes containing the word reactions:

    Separation anxiety is normal part of development, but individual reactions are partly explained by experience, that is, by how frequently children have been left in the care of others.... A mother who is never apart from her young child may be saying to him or her subliminally: “You are only safe when I’m with you.”
    Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
