Answer 1

Answer: Option D)

HCI (aq) + NaOH (s) — NaCl (aq) + H20 (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

HCI (aq) + NaOH (s) — NaCl (aq) + H20 (1)

Acid + base → Salt + Water.

The above is a acid-base reaction in which an acid, aqeous HCl reacts completely with an appropriate amount of a base, aqueous NaOH to produce salt, aqueous NaCl and water, liquid H2O only.

During this reaction, the hydrogen ion, H+, from the HCl is neutralized by the hydroxide ion, OH-, from the NaOH to form the water molecule, H2O and salt, NaCl only.

Thus, it is also a neutralization reaction.
