Question

A reaction of strong acid and a strong base forms ____________ .

• A. a precipitate
• B. a volatile product
• C. an insoluble salt and water
• D. a sulfate salt and water
• E. a salt and water

Answer 1

The correct option is E a salt and water

When a strong acid and a strong base solution are mixed, a neutralization reaction occurs, and the products do not have characteristics of either acids or bases. Instead, a neutral salt and water are formed. This is known as neutralization reaction.
For example, $HCl$ (strong acid) reacts with $NaOH$ (strong base) to form $NaCl$ (salt) and water.
$HCl+NaOH\to NaCl+H_{2}O$
