the salt that would form when naoh is neutralized with hcl is ______________.
Neutralization Reactions Mixing Acids & Bases Acid/Base Neutralization â¢A salt is any compound that can be derived from the neutralization of an acid and a base. â¢The word neutralization is used because the acid and base properties of H+ and OH- are destroyed or neutralized. â¢In the reaction, H+ and OH- combine to form HOH or H 2 O (water molecules). â¢ A neutralization reaction is a type of double replacement reaction. Writing neutralization equations When acids and bases are mixed, a salt forms NaOH + HCl H 2 O + NaCl base + acid water + salt The cation (metal) from the base and the anion from the acid join to form the salt. The OH from the base and the H from the acid join to form water . + â + â hydroxide Example: Write the chemical reaction when lithium
