Step-by-step explanation:

When an acid reacts with a base then it results into the formation of a salt and water. This type of chemical reaction is known as neutralization reaction.

For example,
HCl + KOH \rightarrow KCl + H_(2)O

Here, HCl is the acid and KOH is the base.

So, hydrogen ion from HCl will combine with hydroxide ion of KOH to result in the formation of water (
H_(2)O). Whereas chlorine ion from HCl will combine with potassium ion of KOH to result in the formation of KCl.
