Question

Identify the type of reaction $\underset{\mathrm{Hydrochloric}\mathrm{acid}}{\mathrm{HCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{hydroxide}}{\mathrm{NaOH}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{chloride}}{\mathrm{NaCl}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Water}}{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)}$

Answer 1

Neutralization reaction:

1. A chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively to create salt and water as products are known as a neutralization reaction.
2. They can be further broken into subcategories: a strong acid with a strong base, a weak acid with a strong base, strong acid with a weak base, and a weak acid with a weak base.
3. When hydrochloric acid, a strong acid, combines with sodium hydroxide, a strong base, sodium chloride salt, and water is formed.

Therefore, the given reaction is the neutralization reaction of a strong acid with a strong base.
