Step-by-step explanation

When an acid reacts with a base, a salt and water are typically produced in a neutralization reaction. In the provided scenarios, the combinations of various acids (HBr, H2SO4, HNO3, HCl) with corresponding bases (NaOH, Ca(OH)2, KOH) yield salts according to their components' ions. For instance, HBr (acid) and NaOH (base) produce sodium bromide (NaBr) and water. This follows a general pattern where the cation of the base combines with the anion of the acid to form the salt.

For each combination, the cation of the base pairs with the anion of the acid, resulting in the formation of the respective salt. The correct salts formed are: sodium bromide, sodium sulfate, sodium nitrate, calcium chloride, calcium bromide, calcium sulfate, calcium nitrate, potassium chloride, potassium bromide, and potassium sulfate, based on the ions present in the reactants.

Neutralization reactions between acids and bases are fundamental in chemistry, forming salts and water as products. Understanding the compositions of salts formed from these reactions is essential in various chemical contexts, including analytical chemistry and synthesis.
