Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutralization reaction involves the reaction between an acid and a base to produce a salt and water. Therefore, option E, "an acid and a base react to form a salt and water," is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because two acids cannot react to form water. Option B is incorrect because water and a salt do not react to form an acid and a base. Option C is incorrect because an acid and a salt do not react to form water and a base. Option D is incorrect because a base and a salt do not react to form water and an acid.
