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:
“Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books is a quite exceptionally thankless, irritating and exhausting job. It not only involves praising trash but constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feeling whatever.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
