A base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) combines with a acid (like HCl) to form a salt (like NaCl). Here is the equation NaOH + HCl = NaCl + HOH The Cation from the base (in this example Na which is the sodium ion) combines with the anion of the acid (in this case Cl which is the chloride ion) , leaving the hydrogen ion to combine with the hydroyl ion to produce HOH which is water.
