Reversible Reaction
HCl is an example of acid. It is not a base.
An acid plus a base will yield a salt and water. In textbooks this is often written as: HA + BOH yields AB + HOH The above means an acid with its hydronium ion added to a base with its hydroxyl group will yield a salt composed of the acid and the base plus water (hydrogen plus hydroxyl is HOH or H2O).
acid + base → salt + water
A base is any oxide of a Group (I) or (II) metal ,such as K2O or MgO. As a general formula it is ' M2O ' or ' MO '. NB Do not confuse a base with an alkali. An alkali is a soluble base. e.g. M2O + H2O = 2MOH or MO + H2O = M(OH)2 'M' is the given metal. NNB The general acid reactions are Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water (again). Also Acid + metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide.
When a Brønsted-Lowry acid dissolves in water, it donates a proton (H+) to a water molecule, forming its conjugate base. For example, when hydrochloric acid (HCl) donates a proton to a water molecule, it forms the chloride ion (Cl-) as its conjugate base.

The reaction of an acid plus a base yields SALT ( and water too)
Dissolving formic acid in water the formiate ion formed is the conjugate base of the acid.

Acetic acid / acetate water / hydroxide ammonium / ammonia
When an acid and a base are mixed it will give rise to a salt and water. For example HCl reacts with NaOH to give NaCl and H2O. The basic formula for the reaction of an acid and base is: HA + BOH ----> AB + H2O [acid] [base] [salt] [water]
product of acid and base neutralization would be water and salt(doesnt have to be NaCl) example HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O
A substance that yields an anion plus the hydroxyl ion in water is a strong base. Examples include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) which dissociate completely in water to produce hydroxide ions.
