Neutralization Reaction:
A neutralization reaction involves the mixing of chemically equivalent quantities of an acid (proton donor) and base (proton acceptor) together. This neutralization requires the correct molar ratio of reactants from the balanced reaction equation. In a titration-based reaction the neutralization of the acid with the base is often referred to as the "equivalence point".
