Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the product of the reaction between an acid and a base?
  • Step 1: Understand what an acid is. An acid is a substance that can donate a proton (H+).
  • Step 2: Understand what a base is. A base is a substance that can accept a proton (H+).
  • Step 3: When an acid and a base react together, they undergo a process called neutralization.
  • Step 4: During neutralization, the acid donates a proton to the base.
  • Step 5: The result of this reaction is the formation of two products: salt and water.
  • Step 6: Salt is formed from the combination of the remaining parts of the acid and base after the proton transfer.
  • Step 7: Water is formed when the H+ from the acid combines with the OH- from the base.
