Solution
Neutralization of acid with a base to form salt and water.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Base}}{NaOH} + \underset{\text{Hydrochloric acid}}{HCl}->\underset{\text{Salt}}{NaCl} + \underset{\text{Water}}{H2O}}\]
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Base}}{Ca(OH)2} + \underset{\text{Acid}}{H2SO4}->\underset{\text{Salt}}{CaSO4} + \underset{\text{Water}}{2H2O}}\]
