Question

$H^{+}$ ions and $O{H}^{-}$ ions combine to form neutral water molecules in a neutralization reaction.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Neutralization reaction:

Acids $+$ Base $⟶$ Salts $+$ Water

As, $HCl+NaOH⟶NaCl+H_{2}O$

$HCl⟶H^{+}+C{l}^{-}$

$NaOH⟶N{a}^{+}+O{H}^{-}$

So, $H^{+}+C{l}^{-}+N{a}^{+}+O{H}^{-}⟶N{a}^{+}+C{l}^{-}+H^{+}+O{H}^{-}$

$N{a}^{+}+C{l}^{-}$ is salt $\left(NaCl\right)$

$H^{+}+O{H}^{-}$ is water $\left(H_{2}O\right)$ in neutralization.
