Question

Identify the type of reaction. HCl + NaOH = NaCl +H2O
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The given reaction is a type of neutralization reaction.

Explanation:

$\large{\boxed{\sf HCl + NaOH \longrightarrow NaCl + H_2O}}$

In the above reaction,

• HCL - Hydrochloric acid.
• NaOH - Sodium hydroxide.
• NaCl - Sodium chloride.
• H₂O - Water.

Here,

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is reacting with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to forms sodium chloride (NaCl) and Water (H₂O).

We know that,

HCl is a strong acid and NaOH is a base. i.e. When the acid reacts with base then salt and water are formed. The process is called as neutralization reaction.
