Verified Answer :

Mixing equal amounts of a strong acid with a strong base also produces a neutral pH (pH = 7) solution.

A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a basereact to form water and a salt and involves the combination of H+ ions and OH- ions to generate water. The neutralization of a strong acid and strong base has a pH equal to 7.

Answer:

Water and Salt are produced.

Explanation:

  • Assuming that an acid and base are mixed equally in a solution the H+ ions are released by the acid and OH- ions are released by the base. These ions combine to produce water and the leftovers of acid and base combine to form a salt. Take the following example where an acid (HCl) combines with a base (NaOH) to produce salt (NaCl) and water (H2O)
  • HCl + NaOH --------------> \(H_{2}O + NaCl\)
