Question

Suggest the correct word to fill the blank of the following chemical reacation
Acid + Base -> Balt+________
a) Hydrogen.
b) water.
c) carbon dioxide.
d) oxygen. ​

Answer 1

Acid + Base  -> Salt+ Water (option b)

• When an acid reacts with any kind of base or a basic substance, it neutralizes and creates a Neutralization reaction.
• To further break it down, and according to Arrhenius theory acids have H+ ions and bases have OH– ions in it's solution
• So when the two properties combine the H+ ions come together with the OH- ions and form water. These are the fundamentals of the Neutralization reaction.
• For Example :- HCl + NaOH -->  NaCl+ H2O
• Here the salt is formed from the two compounds resulting into a completely different compound and the H+ ions and OH- anions combine to form water.
