Detailed Solution

The product of a strong acid and base reaction is water and an ionic salt; they react to neutralize acid and base properties.

For example- HCl and NaOH react together to form NaCl and H₂O.

$HCl (a q) + NaOH (a q) \to NaCl (a q) + H_{2} O (l)$

In this reaction, HCl (acid) and NaOH (base) react together to form NaCl (ionic salt) and H₂O(water) and acidic and basic properties are neutralized.
