Which salt is formed when sodium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Sodium chloride

This is a neutralisation reaction: \(\mathrm{NaOH + HCl \rightarrow NaCl + H_2O}\). The \(\mathrm{Na^+}\) ion from NaOH combines with the \(\mathrm{Cl^-}\) ion from HCl to form sodium chloride, so option A is correct. Sodium carbonate would require a carbonate ion, \(\mathrm{CO_3^{2-}}\), which is not present in the reactants. Exam tip: in neutralisation, identify the salt by combining the cation of the base with the anion of the acid.
