Question

Which of the following is a neutralization reaction?A. Na2O(s) + H2O(a) rightarrow 2NaOH(s).B. 4Na(s) + O2(g) rightqrrow 2Na2O(s).C. NaOH(s) + HCl(aaq) rightarrow NaCl(s) + H2O(aq).D. 2Ca(s) + O2(g) rightarrow 2CaO(s).

Answer 1

C. NaOH(s) + HCl(aaq) rightarrow NaCl(s) + H2O(aq)

Step-by-step explanation:

A neutralization reaction may be defined as the reaction where an acid when it reacts with some base, the products formed are a salt and water.

Simply, we can write,

acid + base ---> salt + water

Here in option (C),

NaOH is sodium hydroxide is an base

HCl is hydrochloric acid

NaCl is sodium chloride and is the common salt

H20 is water

So, option C). NaOH(s) + HCl(aaq) -----> NaCl(s) + H2O(aq) is a neutralization reaction.
