GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

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: -A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt and involves the combination of H+ ions and OH-ions to generate water. The neutralization of a strong acid and strong base has a pH equal to 7.

Detailed explanation-3: -If we mix equal amounts of an acid and a base then two chemicals essentially cancel out each other and produce salt and water. Mixing equal amounts of a strong acid with strong base results in a neutral solution whose pH value remains 7 and this type of reactions are known as neutralization reactions.

Detailed explanation-4: -a salt and water are formed. Explanation for the correct option: (C) A salt and water are formed: When an acid and a base are combined, a neutralization reaction occurs, in which the acid neutralizes or reduces the effect of the base.

Detailed explanation-5: -Because both an acid and a base are present, we know we have an acid base neutralization reaction. The products of a neutralization reaction will always be water and salt.
