Answer:

Water

Step-by-step explanation:

When a base react to and hydrogen ion, we can produce water.

According to these equation

H⁺ + OH⁻ ⇄ H₂O Kw: 1×10¹⁴

Remember that OH⁻ is determined by a strong base.

This reaction is called neutralization. You can also produce water with a weak base, because OH⁻ are released. For example, let's mention ammonia which is a weak base, it takes protons from water (H⁺)

NH₃ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + NH₄⁺ Kb

When the ammonium ion (acid), reacts to a base, you produce water.

NH₄⁺ + NaOH → NH₃ + H₂O + Na⁺
