Answer:

Acid + Base -------> Salt + Water

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction between an acid and bases is called a neutralization reaction. The result of the reaction is salt and water. For example, when hydrochloric acid(acid) and sodium hydroxide(base) react they form sodium chloride(salt) and water. Also, heat is evolved.

Example:

HCl + NaOH ----------> NaCl + H2O

HCl is hydrochloric acid.

NaOH is sodium hydroxide which is a base.

NaCl is sodium chloride which is a salt.

H2O is water.
