Question

Which compound is produced when HCl(aq) is neutralized by Ca(OH)2(aq)?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is Option 1.

Explanation:

Neutralization reaction is defined as the reaction in which acid reacts with a base to produce a salt along with water.

Here, HCl is an acid and $Ca(OH)_2$ is a base. When these two compounds react, the salt obtained is calcium chloride.

The equation for the above reaction is given by:

$2HCl(aq.)+Ca(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CaCl_2(s)+2H_2O(l)$

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Answer 2

Ca(OH)2 +2*HCl --> CaCl2 + 2*H2O

CaCl2 (1) is the correct answer.
