Question

Identify the following equation

$\mathrm{NaOH}+\mathrm{HCl}\to \mathrm{NaCl}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$

Answer 1

$\mathrm{NaOH}+\mathrm{HCl}\to \mathrm{NaCl}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$

In the above equation, acid$\left(\mathrm{HCl}\right)$ is reacting with the base$\left(\mathrm{NaOH}\right)$ to form salt$\left(\mathrm{NaCl}\right)$ and water$\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$. A chemical reaction in which acid reacts with a base to form salt and water is called a neutralisation reaction.

Therefore, the given equation is a neutralisation reaction.
