Question

What happen when acid reacts with the base? Explain by taking an example of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. Give the equation of the reaction. What is the special name of such a reaction?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi mate

Explanation:

The reaction between an acid and a base is known as a neutralisation reaction. Often when an acid and base react a salt and water will be formed. ... Hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium chloride (a salt) and water.

Answer 2

Answer

When Acid & Base react with each other salt & water will form.

Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) - Acid (Strong)

Sodium Hydroxide ($NaOH$) - Base (strong)

when both will react

$HCl(aq) \: + \: NaOH(aq) \: \rightarrow \: NaCl \: + \: H_2O$

in this Na+ cation from the base & $Cl^{-}$ anion from acid as came together and form a salt NaCl (sodium chloride)

This reaction is known as "Neutralization Reaction".
