Write the neutralization reaction for the following acid and base: {eq}HClO_{4(aq)} {/eq} and {eq}NaOH_{(aq)} {/eq}.

Question:

Write the neutralization reaction for the following acid and base: {eq}HClO_{4(aq)} {/eq} and {eq}NaOH_{(aq)} {/eq}.

Neutralization Reaction:

Neutralization is achieved by the "reaction of acid and base," which gives salt by combining the conjugate base of acid and cation from the base with side product water. It is applied as the basic theory in "acid-base titration."


Answer and Explanation: 1

The {eq}\rm HClO_{4} {/eq} and NaOH react with each other, generating sodium perchlorate and water; the perchlorate ion combines with sodium ions and generates salt.

The sodium perchlorate and water generation from {eq}\rm HClO_{4} {/eq} and NaOH is as shown below:

{eq}\rm HClO_{4}\;\left(aq\right)+NaOH\;\left(aq\right)\to\;NaClO_{4}\;\left(aq\right)+H_{2}O\;\left(l\right) {/eq}


Thus, the neutralization reaction for the given acid and base is:

{eq}\rm HClO_{4}\;\left(aq\right)+NaOH\;\left(aq\right)\to\;NaClO_{4}\;\left(aq\right)+H_{2}O\;\left(l\right) {/eq}
