What are the main products of neutralisation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Salt and water
Neutralisation is the reaction of an acid with a base. In the ionic view, H⁺ from the acid combines with OH⁻ from the base to form H₂O, while the remaining positive and negative ions combine to form a salt. Thus the main products are salt and water, making option A correct. The other pairs do not represent the standard products of an acid–base neutralisation.
