Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the product of the reaction between a strong acid and a strong base?
  • Step 1: Identify a strong acid, like hydrochloric acid (HCl).
  • Step 2: Identify a strong base, like sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
  • Step 3: When the strong acid and strong base are mixed, they react with each other.
  • Step 4: The acid donates a proton (H+) to the base.
  • Step 5: This reaction produces water (H2O) and a salt.
  • Step 6: The salt is formed from the remaining parts of the acid and base (for example, NaCl from HCl and NaOH).
  • Step 7: Therefore, the final products of the reaction are salt and water.
