Which of the following are produced in a neutralization reaction? ​

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) ​Salt and water

Explanation: In a neutralization reaction, an acid and a base react to form water and a salt.

The general form of a neutralization reaction is: Acid + Base → Water + Salt

To determine what is produced in a specific neutralization reaction, let us have a look:

• Water (H₂O): This is produced when hydrogen ions (H⁺) from the acid combine with hydroxide ions (OH⁻) from the base.
• Salt: This is the product of the remaining ions from the acid and the base combining.
• For example, if hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sodium chloride (NaCl) is formed as the salt.
