A chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react to produce salt and water is called a neutralization reaction. In the neutralization reaction shown below, which substance is the salt? perchloric acid + sodium hydroxide → sodium perchlorate + water

sodium perchlorate

Explanation:

acid and base reactions

The answer to your question is Sodium Perchlorate

Explanation:

Data

which is the salt?

Chemical reaction

Perchloric acid + Sodium hydroxide ⇒ Sodium perchlorate + Water

HClO₄ + NaOH = NaClO₄ + H₂O

Process

In inorganic chemistry there are two types of salts:

- Binary salts

- Oxysalts

Binary salts are inorganic compounds form by a metal and a nonmetal (only two compounds).

Oxysalts are inorganic compounds form by metal, a nonmetal, and oxygen (three elements).

In the reaction given the only compound that has these characteristics is Sodium perchlorate which is an oxysalt.
