Interpretation : The products of a reaction between an acid and a base are to be reviewed.
Concept Introduction : Acids are substances that contain hydrogen and ionize to produce hydrogen ions
Answer to Problem 39LC
The products of a reaction between an acid and a base are its respective salt and water.
Explanation of Solution
When the bases and acids react, they form salt and water.
A strong acid and strong base react completely to form a neutral solution.
A neutralization reaction is a name for this kind of reaction.
The general word equation for the neutralization reaction is given as
Consider the acid-base reaction that takes place between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide giving sodium chloride salt and water.
When there are an equal number of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in the solution, the reaction between an acid and a base will be completed.
The mole ratio of the above reaction is
