Answer:

Double, acid, base, water, salt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general reaction of a neutralization is:

X(OH) + YH → H₂O + XY

If you see, the reaction is a double replacement reaction because the cation and the anion of the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds or products.

Always, the reaction starts with an acid and a base and will produce water and a salt.

I hope it helps!
