Question

why is water formed when an acid reacts witha base​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acid + base = salt + water

Explanation:

when the acid and base reacts or mixed with each other the solution became neutral.

so, produce is salt and H20

so,

water is formed when the acid and base reacts or mixed with each other.

Answer 2

Answer:

Any acid is a substance which increases the concentration of H+ ions in an aqueous solution

ie. every acid will have H+ ions

eg: HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, H2CO3

Also every bases will have OH- ions.

eg: NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2, NH4OH

When an acid react with a base,

for example HCl and NaOH, the chemical formula for this neutralization reaction will be as follows:

HCl+ NaOH → NaCl + H2O

Since every acids have H+ ions and bases have OH- ions, the two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom will attract each other to form water (H2O) whenever they perform neutralization reaction.
