Question

The neutral compound formed when a base and an acid react together:
A.Acid
B.Base
C.Salt
D.Neutron

Answer 1

Hint: When acids and bases react with each other and react completely, the products are usually a salt solution that isn't sour or bitter. This process is called neutralization.

Complete step by step answer:
When acid and base react, salt and water are formed.
Acid + Base $ \to $ Salt + Water
This is known as neutralization reaction as the base neutralizes the acid with which it reacts.
The salt that is formed during this reaction is neither acidic or basic but it is neutral in nature.
We can define salt as the ionic compound that results from a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base. Salts are composed of cations, the positively charged ions and anions, the negative ions, and in their unsolvated, solid forms, they are without a net charge i.e. electrically neutral. The component ions in a salt can be inorganic.
The neutral compound formed when a base and an acid react together is salt.
Therefore, the correct answer is option

Note: Acid are familiar to us in everyday life, because acids are sour things, like vinegar and lemons. Bases might be less familiar to us. Some common bases we use in regular life are baking soda and antacids that we take if we are having stomach trouble. Also, many soaps are basic, although this is just because of how they are made, not necessary to make them soapy. Bases taste bitter. They can be used to clean greasy things. Common acids and bases react with each other and when they react completely, the products are usually a salt solution that isn't sour or bitter. This is called neutralization. The examples of acid-base neutralization reactions are fluffy cakes, because of a gas generated during these reactions sometimes that makes holes in the cake.
