Question

What are the products of this chemical equation? HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) →

Answer 1

i believe it is NaCl(aq) + H2O

Answer 2

Answer : The products of this chemical equation are, sodium chloride (NaCl) and water
`(H_2O)`.

Explanation :

Neutralization reaction : It is a type of reaction in which an acid completely neutralizes the base and then it gives a salt and water as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

`HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq)+H_2O(aq)`

By the stoichiometry we can say that, 1 mole of HCl acid react with 1 mole of NaOH base to give 1 mole of NaCl salt and water as product.

In this reaction, HCl and NaOH are the reactants and NaCl and water are the products.

Therefore, the products of this chemical equation are, sodium chloride (NaCl) and water
`(H_2O)`.
