When an acid and a base are placed together, they react to neutralize the acid and base properties, producing a salt. The H(+) cation of the acid combines with the OH(-) anion of the base to form water. The compound formed by the cation of the base and the anion of the acid is called a salt.
El catión H (+) del ácido se combina con el anión OH (-) de la base para formar agua. El compuesto formado por el catión de la base y el anión del ácido se llama sal.
