Answer: A reaction which occurs when equivalent quantities of H" (or [tex]H_{3}O^{+}[/tex]) and OH" are mixed is a neutralization reaction.

Explanation:

When acid and base chemically combine together to form sat and water then it is know as neutralization reaction.

An acidic substance gives hydrogen ions [tex](H^{+})[/tex] on dissociation and a basic substance gives hydroxide ions [tex](OH^{-})[/tex] on dissociation.

For example, [tex]H^{+} + OH^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}O[/tex] is a neutralization reaction where an acid and base are mixed together to form water.

No salt is formed as because here the reactants are not present as compounds.

In a hydrolysis reaction, water molecule(s) is added to the reactant molecules.

For example, [tex]CH_{3}COOCH_{3} + H_2O \rightarrow CH_{3}COOH + CH_{3}OH[/tex]

Oxidation is the process of addition of oxygen to a molecule and removal of hydrogen.

Reduction is the process of addition of hydrogen in a compound and the removal of oxygen atom.

Therefore, we can conclude that reaction which occurs when equivalent quantities of H" (or [tex]H_{3}O^{+}[/tex]) and OH" are mixed is a neutralization reaction.
