question 3
what are the products of a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base?
salt and sugar
salt and water
sugar and water
salt and hydroxide ions
A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base. The general formula for a neutralization reaction is \( \text{Acid}+\text{Base}
ightarrow\text{Salt}+\text{Water} \). For example, when hydrochloric acid (\(HCl\)) reacts with sodium hydroxide (\(NaOH\)), the reaction is \(HCl + NaOH
ightarrow NaCl+H_2O\), where \(NaCl\) (salt) and \(H_2O\) (water) are produced. Sugar is not a product of a neutralization reaction. Hydroxide ions (\(OH^-\)) are part of the base, but they are consumed in the reaction to form water.
