What does it mean for something do to be neutralized? Is that when the [H+]=[OH-]? or is that totally wrong?
Does the [H+]=[OH-] at the midpoint or the equivalence point?
For an acid to be neutralized it means that all of the H^+ has been reacted and there is neither an excess nor a deficiency. For a base to be neutralized it means that all of the OH^- has been reacted completely and there is neither an excess nor a deficiency. It does not mean that (H^+) = (OH^-). Neutralization may mean that you are at the equivalence point but at the eq pt (H^+) = (OH^-) ONLY in the case of a strong acid neutralizing a strong base. For a strong acid and weak base the eq pt occurs closer to 5 and for a weak acid vs a strong base the eq pt is closer to 8.5.
Neutralization is a chemical reaction that occurs when an acid and a base react to form a salt and water. In this reaction, the acid donates a proton (H+ ion), and the base accepts this proton to form a water molecule (H2O). The resulting salt is typically a compound composed of a metal cation from the base and an anion from the acid.
The equation you mentioned, [H+]=[OH-], represents a neutral solution but not necessarily a neutralization reaction. In neutral water, the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) is equal to the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-), resulting in a neutral pH of 7. However, neutralization reactions involve the specific combination of an acid and a base, where the H+ and OH- ions react with each other to form water and a salt.
To determine if a neutralization reaction has occurred, you would need to check if an acid and a base have reacted and produced a salt and water, rather than solely relying on the equality of [H+] and [OH-] concentrations.
