to alter an acidic or basic compound to a pH of 7, thereby making it chemically neutral
When a chemical substance neutralizes an acid, it makes it less acid. Antacids are alkaline and they relieve pain by neutralizing acid in the contents of the stomach
A guard or threat can be neutralized by one of three direct methods: (i) capture the offending enemy piece; (ii) interpose another piece; or (iii) move the piece away to a safe location An indirect method is to create a greater threat for the opponent

a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base interact with the formation of a salt; with strong acids and bases the essential reaction is the combination of hydrogen ions with hydroxyl ions to form water
action intended to nullify the effects of some previous action action intended to keep a country politically neutral or exclude it from a possible war; "the neutralization of Belgium"
(NT), is similar to complement fixation but is applicable only in certain pathogenic situations where the antibody being measured is directed against a hemolysin (a bacterial toxin capable of directly lysing erythrocytes) In these situations, the hemosylin and reagent erythrocytes are added, and if the antibody to the hemosylin is present, the lysis of RBC's will not occur As in Complement Fixation (CF), crude quantitation is afforded by serial dilution which may be quantitatively compared to established standard material dilutions
(euphemism) the removal of a threat by killing or destroying it (especially in a covert operation or military operation) a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base interact with the formation of a salt; with strong acids and bases the essential reaction is the combination of hydrogen ions with hydroxyl ions to form water
The process of eliminating potentially harmful static charges by exposing the charged object to ionized air The static charges on the surface attract opposite charged ions from the air so that the ions recombine to reform neutral molecules Back To Top
a chemical reaction used to remove H+ ions from acidic solutions and of ions from basic solutions The reaction can be violent and usually produces water, a salt, heat, and many times a gas
(1) (Chemistry) A reaction between an acid and a base that yields a salt and water (2) The equalization of hydrogen and hydroxyl ion concentrations such that the resulting solution is neither acidic nor basic; also, decreasing the acidity or alkalinity of a substance by adding alkaline or acidic materials, respectively ADVANCE \x 540
In general, the addition of either and acid or a base to a solution as required to produce a neutral solution The use of alkaline or basic materials to neutralize the acidity of some waters is a common proactive in water conditioning

1) Decreasing the acidity or alkalinity of a substance by adding alkaline or acidic materials, respectively 2) The process of neutralizing a hazardous material spill by applying another material to the spill which will react chemically with it to form a less harmful substance 3) Treatment of corrosive hazardous wastes to yield a pH near 7
The reaction of an acid and a base to produce a salt and water Mineral acids which have been neutralized prior to release or transfer are to be reported to TRI as zero release or transfer
A common designation for alkaline materials such as calcite (calcium carbonate) or magnesia (magnesium oxide) used in the neutralization of acid waters
A chemical used to make chlorine or bromine harmless Used in test kits to counteract the bleaching effect of the chlorine or bromine in order to increase the accuracy of pool water tests Sold as chlorine and bromine neutralizer, it is used to destroy excessive amounts of chlorine or bromine, so the high levels will not affect swimmers
