which is a neutralization reaction?
select the correct answer below:
o hcl(aq) + naoh(aq) → nacl(aq) + h₂o(l)
o cl₂(aq) + h₂o(l) → hcl(aq) + oh⁻(aq)
o cacl₂(aq) → ca²⁺(aq) + 2cl⁻(aq)
o hcl(aq) + h₂o(l) → h₃o⁺(aq) + cl⁻(aq)

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction is between an acid and a base to form a salt and water. Here, HCl (acid) reacts with NaOH (base) to produce NaCl (salt) and H₂O.

Answer:

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)
