Explanation:
When an acid reacts with a base then it results into the formation of a salt and water. This type of chemical reaction is known as neutralization reaction.
For example, [tex]HCl + KOH \rightarrow KCl + H_{2}O[/tex]
Here, HCl is the acid and KOH is the base.
So, hydrogen ion from HCl will combine with hydroxide ion of KOH to result in the formation of water ([tex]H_{2}O[/tex]). Whereas chlorine ion from HCl will combine with potassium ion of KOH to result in the formation of KCl.
