Question

Salts are formed as a result of ______ .

• A. combustion reaction
• B. redox reaction
• C. neutralization reaction
• D. decomposition reaction

Answer 1

The correct option is C neutralization reaction

A neutralization reaction is one where an acid and a base react to form water and a salt. The reaction involves the combination of ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions and ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions to generate water.
Example: $\text{NaOH}$ is a base which react with $\text{HCl}$ acid to give $\text{NaCl}$ salt and water.

$NaOH+HCl\to NaCl+H_{2}O$
