options:
salts + water
sodium chloride
acids and bases

Explanation:

Match the reaction of acids and bases

The general chemical reaction between an acid and a base is a neutralization reaction, which produces a salt and water:

$$\text{Acid} + \text{Base} ightarrow \text{Salt} + \text{Water}$$

Identify the common table salt example

Common table salt is chemically known as sodium chloride (\(\text{NaCl}\)).

Match the reactants that produce salts

Salts are ionic compounds formed as products of neutralization reactions, which occur specifically between acids and bases.
