Answer 1

C.salt ,Salt is formed when acid reacts with base.In this equation KOH Reacts with HCL forming KCL and H2O

Answer 2

Answer: C) Salt

Explanation: In general, an acid-base neutralization reaction is written as:

`acid+base\rightarrow salt+water`

The given equation is:

`HCl+KOH\rightarrow KCl+H_2O`

In the above equation, HCl is an acid, KOH is a base,
`H_2O` is water. So, KCl is a salt.

Hence, the right answer is C) salt.
