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:
“In this Journal, my pen is a delicate needle point, tracing out a graph of temperament so as to show its daily fluctuations: grave and gay, up and down, lamentation and revelry, self-love and self-disgust. You get here all my thoughts and opinions, always irresponsible and often contradictory or mutually exclusive, all my moods and vapours, all the varying reactions to environment of this jelly which is I.”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
