Explanation
Neutralisation produces only a salt and water; hydrogen gas is produced when acids react with metals, not bases.
Common mistake
Confusing Neutralisation
Students often think that neutralisation only involves acids and bases, forgetting that it can also include acids reacting with alkalis.
Remember that neutralisation is the reaction between an acid and a base or alkali, and be sure to include both types in your explanations.
