When An Acid Reacts With A Base What Is Produced?

When an acid and base react, a neutralization reaction occurs. A neutralization reaction produces a salt and water.

Let's look at some neutralization reactions:

HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) ------> NaCl (aq) + H₂O (l)

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) ------> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O (l)

HCl (aq) + NH₄OH (aq) ------> NH₄Cl (l) + H₂O (l)
