Question

Which of the following is an acid-base neutralization reaction? (1 point)

NaOH + HCl yields NaCl + H2O

2NaCl + H2SO4yields Na2 SO4 + 2HCl

C6H12O6 + 6O2yields 6CO2 + 6H2O

2H2 + O2yields 2

Answer 1

It would be NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O

NaOH is sodium hydroxide, which is a strong base. HCl is hydrochloric acid, which is a strong acid.

You have a strong base and a strong acid on the left side, however, at the result side, you end up with NaCl + H2O. Sodium chloride is simply table salt and H2O is just water, thus it has been neutralized.
