Question

A salt formed after the neutralisation reaction is a combination of of an acid and of a base.

• A. anion
• B. mass
• C. cation
• D. volume

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A anion
C cation

When an acid reacts with a base, it forms salt along with water and this reaction is known as neutralisation reaction.
In this reaction, anion from an acid combines with the cation of a base to form the salt.
Example:
$\text{NaOH(aq)}+\text{HCl(aq)}\to \text{NaCl(aq)}+{\text{H}}_2\text{O(l)}$

In $\text{NaCl}$, ${\text{Na}}^{+}$ ion is from the base while the ${\text{Cl}}^{-}$ ion is from the acid.
