What is the main product of the reaction between an acid and a base? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand that an acid is a substance that can donate a proton (H+) and a base is a substance that can accept a proton.
  • Step 2: When an acid and a base react together, they undergo a process called neutralization.
  • Step 3: During neutralization, the acid and base cancel each other's properties.
  • Step 4: The main products of this reaction are salt and water.
  • Step 5: Salt is formed from the combination of the positive ion from the base and the negative ion from the acid.
  • Step 6: Water is formed when the H+ from the acid combines with the OH- from the base.
