Answer 1

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A reaction in which an acid reacts with base and results in the formation of salt and water is known as a neutralization reaction.

For example, $2HCl + CaOH \rightarrow CaCl_{2} + H_{2}O$ is a neutralization reaction as salt here is calcium chloride.

Thus, we can conclude that the reactants in a neutralization reaction are an acid and a base.

Answer 2

ok thank you for elaborating and you are correct in a neutralization reaction the reactants are the acid and base. the salt and water would be the product and the two elements could be anything meaning that it is most likely a mixture

Hope this helps
