Question

Which substance is always produced in the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide

Answer 1

Answer: 1. water

Explanation:

Neutralization reaction  is defined as the chemical reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water molecule.

$HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O$

When hydrochloric acid ad sodium hydroxide combines, the $H^+$ ions from acid combines with $OH^-$ ions from base to form water and sodium chloride $NaCl$ which is soluble in water.

$HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O$.

Thus water is always produced in the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.

Answer 2

Water is always being produced
