Question

the balanced chemical equation for one neutralization reaction. In your equation, which reactant contributed the salt's positive ion? Which one contributes the salt's negative ion?

Answer 1

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction is a reaction that involves acid and base with the production of salt and water as the end products. An example is as below:

HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O

The salt produced here is NaCl. In solution, NaCl will ionize as:

$NaCl --> Na^+ + Cl^-$

Hence, the salt's positive ion (Na+) was contributed by the base (NaOH) while its negative ion (Cl-) was contributed by the acid (HCl).
