Question

Acids and bases react to form salt and water.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

When an acid reacts with a base, we get salt and water as products. For example: Hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium chloride and water. The reaction involved is:

$\text{HCl}\text{(aq)}+\text{NaOH}\text{(aq)}\to \text{NaCl}\text{(aq)}+{\text{H}}_2\text{O}\text{(l)}$
