A neutralization reaction between an acid an sodium hydroxide formed water and the salt named sodium sulfate. What was the formula of the acid that was neutralized?
Let's see how a neutralization reaction produces both water and a salt, using as an example the reaction between solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The overall equation for this reaction is: NaOH + HCl → H2O and NaCl. Now let's break this reaction down into two parts to see how each product forms.
