Question

Hydrobromic acid (HBr) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) combine in a neutralization reaction to form water and a salt. Which of the following correctly identifies the salt that is produced? OHBr NaBr BrH HOH

Answer 1

Answer:

NaBr.

Explanation:

The balanced equation is:

HBr + NaOH --->  NaBr + H2O.

The salt formed  is NaBr , Sodium Bromide.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an acid reacts with a base then it results in the formation of salt and water.

Usually, these type of reactions are known as neutralization reactions.

For example, when HBr chemically reacts with NaOH then the reaction will be as follows.

        $HBr + NaOH \rightarrow NaBr + H_{2}O$

Here, sodium bromide (NaBr) is the salt as it is formed when HCl acid reacts with NaOH (base).

Thus, we can conclude that NaBr is the salt that is produced.
