Question

Write the chemical equation for the following activity. 

NaOH solution was added to HCl solution.

Answer 1

When an acid and a base react, the reaction is called a neutralization reaction. Let's see how a neutralization reaction produces both water and salt, using as an example the reaction between solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.

\[\ce{HCl_{(l)} + NaOH_{(l)} -> NaCl_{(s)} + H2O_{(l)} + {Energy}}\]
