Answer: 1. water

Step-by-step explanation:

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


HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O

When hydrochloric acid ad sodium hydroxide combines, the
H^+ ions from acid combines with
OH^- ions from base to form water and sodium chloride
NaCl which is soluble in water.


HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O.

Thus water is always produced in the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.
