Water is one of the products formed during _____, where HCl (Hydrochloric acid), a strong acid, combines with NaOH, a strong base, to form sodium chloride.

• A neutralization reaction is a type of chemical reaction between an acid and a base that results in the formation of salt and water. 
• In this reaction, the hydrogen ions (H+) from the acid react with the hydroxide ions (OH^-) from the base to form water (H₂O). The remaining ions combine to form a salt.
• The general chemical equation for a neutralization reaction can be written as:

                   Acid + Base → Salt + Water

• For example, the reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) can be represented as:

                   HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
