<u>Ans: A) HCl</u>

Neutralization reaction is one where an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water.

The given reaction is;

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

In general, an acid is the species which loses a proton i.e. H+ ion. Whereas base accepts a proton. Therefore the molecule where the proton count or the number of hydrogens decreases as the reaction proceeds can be identified as an acid.

Here, as the reaction progresses, HCl loses its hydrogen hence HCl is an acid i.e. hydrochloric acid.

NaOH, sodium hydroxide is a base

NaCl, sodium chloride is a salt.

A fusion reaction takes place between carbon and another element. Neutrons are released, and a different element is formed. The
sdas [7]

Answer:

Dependent on the element that reacted with carbon

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of small atomic nuclei into larger ones usually accompanied with the release of a large amount of energy.

From the problem stated, carbon fuses with another atom. The combined atom would have more nuclear particles in terms of protons and neutrons than the combining atoms. This will eventually make it weigh more than carbon and the atom it combines with. The resulting weight will depend on the combining atoms eventually.
