Answer:
Water and Salt are the products of simplest types of acid-base reactions.

Examples:

Base Acid Salt Water

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

2 NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2 H₂O

NaOH + CH₃CO₂H → CH₃COONa + H₂O

In all theses simple reactions the base (i.e. OH⁻) abstracts proton from the acid and forming a conjugate base with negative charge. Thus the negative charged conjugate base forms a salt with positively charged sodium ions.
