Acids react with:
|
|
water to produce bases and salts
|
|
|
salts to produce bases and water
|
|
|
neither bases, salt nor water
|
|
|
bases to produce salt and water
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When an acid reacts with a base, we get salt and water as products. For example: Hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium chloride and water. The reaction involved is: HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)→NaCl(aq)+H2O(l)
Detailed explanation-2: -When an acid and a base are placed together, they react to neutralize the acid and base properties, producing a salt. The H(+) cation of the acid combines with the OH(-) anion of the base to form water. The compound formed by the cation of the base and the anion of the acid is called a salt.
Detailed explanation-3: -Salts, when placed in water, will often react with the water to produce H3O+ or OH-. This is known as a hydrolysis reaction.
