A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt and involves the combination of H+ ions and OH- ions to generate water. The neutralization of a strong acid and strong base has a pH equal to 7.

Answer: A neutral salt and water is formed as products.

Step-by-step explanation:

Neutralization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce salt and water molecule.


BOH+HX\rightarrow BX+H_2O

Salts are formed when an acid reacts with a base during a neutralization reaction.

  • When a strong acid and a weak base reacts, it leads to the formation of acidic salt.
  • When a strong base and weak acid reacts, it leads to the formation of basic salt.
  • When a strong acid and strong base or weak acid and weak base reacts, it leads to the formation of neutral salts.

Hence, a neutral salt and water is formed as products.
