What are the products formed by a reaction of a base and a acid?

Answer 1

A salt and water.

An example is: HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O (or more correctly Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + H2O)

Answer 2

In general, the products of a reaction between acid and base include water and a salt. Additional things may be produced, usually depending on the specific base involved in the reaction, but water and some type of salt are universal.

For instance, the reaction of HC2H3O2 and Ca2CO3 (Vinegar and limestone, respectively) produces H2O (water) and NaC2H3O2 (calcium acetate), as would be expected from general acid-base reactions, but also produces CO2 (carbon dioxide). Adding vinegar to NaOH (lye), however, simply produces water and NaC2H3O2 (sodium acetate).

Answer 3

acid-base reaction is called neutralization reaction.

it produces salt and water are produced.

ex-hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide=water + sodium chloride.

HCL + NaOH =H2O +NaCL.

BYE..

Answer 4

help me !

Added:

• You didn't help yourself by already filling in: "help me !" because this is 'seen' as an already answered question. In this way it might NOT get any attention at all from the prnciple answerers of 'WikiAnswers dot com'.
• When you have an urgent question you might look at the proposed 'look-a-likes' when you've filled in the questionairy page. There is (most of the time anyhow) an already answered question you can use.

Now here is your 'look-a-like':

Q: " What products do you get when you mix a base and an acid? "

(cf. link just below this answer page)

with the following answer:A: " A salt and water. "

You see it is that simple! " Please don'tshoot the answerer but readthe question "
