Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a neutralization reaction, an acid and a base react to form a salt and water. Therefore, the products of a neutralization reaction are water and salt. Choice A (salt and carbon dioxide) is incorrect because carbon dioxide is not a product of neutralization. Choice B (carbon dioxide and water) is incorrect because it suggests an acid-base reaction, but not necessarily a neutralization reaction. Choice D (oil and water) and choice E (none of the above) are also incorrect because they are not products of neutralization.
