Non-aqueous Reactions
In non-aqueous reactions, water is less likely to be formed; however, there is always a donation of protons (see Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory). Since a variety of definitions of acids and bases exist, a variety of reactions may be considered neutralization reactions. All of the following may be considered neutralization reactions under different definitions:
- HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
- 2HCl + Mg → MgCl2 + H2
- 2HCO2H + MgO → Mg(HCO2)2 + H2O
- HF + NH3 → NH4F

Famous quotes containing the word reactions:
“Cuteness in children is totally an adult perspective. The children themselves are unaware that the quality exists, let alone its desirability, until the reactions of grownups inform them.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
