This reaction involves a base (NaOH) and an acid (HCl), so it's a neutralization reaction, which is a special type of double-displacement reaction. Follow this procedure to write balanced molecular equations for double displacement reactions, when you know only the formulas of the reactants:
These reaction neutralize the acid and base to yield salt and water. Sodium chloride is not the only salt that may be formed. For example, here is the chemical equation for an acid-base reaction that produces potassium chloride, a common table salt substitute: HCl + KOH â KCl + H 2 O.
