Answer:HCl(aq) + NaOH (aq) -> NaCl (aq) + H2O(l)
Explanation:
The reaction of HCl and NaOH is a neutralization reaction. When an acid and a base react salt and water is produced.
HCl(aq) + NaOH (aq) ----> NaCl (aq) + H2O(l)
Because the reactants and products are ionic compounds, they exist as ions in a solution.
H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) -------> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + H2O(l)
The aim of a neutralization reaction is the formation of water. Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) remain the same on both the reactants side and the products side, the net ionic reaction will be
H+(aq) + OH-(aq) -------> H2O(l)
