Neutralisation reaction general equation is: base + acid → metal salt + water.
Sodium hydroxide has the formula NaOH(aq) and hydrochloric acid has the formula HCl(aq).
In a neutralisation reaction, the metal salt formed is named after the metal (from the base) and acid used.
Common bases include metal oxides and hydroxides.
(s), (l), (g) and (aq) in chemical equations identify the state of each substance as solid, liquid, gas or in solution.
