distractor3: a thermodynamic one
distractor1: a economical one
distractor2: a lateral one
correct_answer: a neutral one
support: When equal amounts of a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid are mixed with a strong base such as sodium hydroxide, the result is a neutral solution. The products of the reaction do not have the characteristics of either an acid or a base. Here is the balanced molecular equation.
