Question

Which compound is produced when HCl(aq) is neutralized by Ca(OH)2(aq)?

(1) CaCl2 (3) HClO
(2) CaH2 (4) HClO2

Answer 1

Ca(OH)2 +2*HCl --> CaCl2 + 2*H2O

CaCl2 (1) is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Option 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Here, HCl is an acid and
`Ca(OH)_2` is a base. When these two compounds react, the salt obtained is calcium chloride.

The equation for the above reaction is given by:

`2HCl(aq.)+Ca(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CaCl_2(s)+2H_2O(l)`

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
