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:
1 You'll have to have memorized a list of common ions to be able to do this! 2  In this case, the NaOH contains Na + and OH - , and the HCl contains H + and Cl 3  - . Swap the ions to build the products. 4  The H + will pair up with the OH-to produce HOH (water). 5  The Na + and the Cl-will produce NaCl.
