Neutralization

Real World Example

Imagine you've got a noisy room filled with both loud rock music and soothing classical music playing at the same time, and it's giving you a headache. Neutralization is like when you find just the right volume of each type of music so that they cancel each other out, resulting in a pleasant, balanced sound that is neither too loud nor too soft. In the same way, when an acid (the loud rock music) and a base (the soothing classical music) react together, they neutralize each other, producing a 'peaceful' mixture of salt and water, much like achieving harmonious silence.
