B. Sodium hydroxide and Hydrochloric acid
Chemical equations can be expressed in terms of
In a chemical reaction, there are several components, including reactants, products, and compounds that react in the form of solids, gases, and liquids
Reactants are compounds that react and form products
The reactants are generally to the left of the chemical equation and the products are to the right of the reaction
The statement of the word reaction above can be expressed by the reaction formula
[tex]\tt NaOH+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O[/tex]
This reaction is called a neutralization reaction because it involves acids(HCl) and bases(NaOH) and produces salt(NaCl)and water(H₂O)
From the reaction above, the reactants on the left are NaOH and HCl compounds
