Question

what is the product of a neutralization reaction? hydrochloric acid and water salt and water hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions rewatch

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction occurs between an acid and a base. The general reaction is \( \text{Acid}+\text{Base}
ightarrow\text{Salt}+\text{Water} \). For example, \( \text{HCl (acid)}+\text{NaOH (base)}
ightarrow\text{NaCl (salt)}+\text{H}_2\text{O (water)} \). Hydrochloric acid is an acid (not a product of neutralization in general). Hydrogen ions (\( \text{H}^+ \)) and hydroxide ions (\( \text{OH}^- \)) react to form water (\( \text{H}_2\text{O} \)) during neutralization but are not the overall products. The main products are salt (formed from the cation of the base and anion of the acid) and water.

Answer:

Salt and Water
