Question

When NaOH and HCl are mixed in equimolar quantities, the result is----
What is the type of reaction?
(a) the formation of salt + hydrogen gas; decomposition reaction
(b) the formation of salt + water; neutralisation reaction
(c) the formation of salt + oxygen gas; oxidation reaction
(d) All above are correct​

Answer 1

b) the formation of salt + water; neutralisation reaction

Explanation:

When HCl (Hydrochloric acid) and NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide are mixed they form Common salt (NaCl) and Water (H2O). This is an neturalization reaction as the acid and base react together to form a salt and water.
