What is/are the product(s) of the reaction between an acid and a base?

Correct option is D

Correct Answer: D. Both Salt and Water

Explanation:
The reaction between an acid and a base is called a neutralization reaction, and it produces salt and water as products.

Neutralization Reaction:

1. Reaction Example:

HCl (acid) + NaOH (base) → NaCl (salt) + H₂O (water)

• HCl (hydrochloric acid) reacts with NaOH (sodium hydroxide) to form NaCl (sodium chloride, a salt) and water.
1. Reaction Mechanism:
• The hydrogen ions (H⁺) from the acid combine with the hydroxide ions (OH⁻) from the base to form water (H₂O).
• The remaining ions combine to form a salt.
