What are the products of the simplest type of acid-base reaction?

            Water and Salt are the products of simplest types of acid-base reactions.

Examples:

                           Base      Acid                 Salt           Water

                          NaOH  +  HCl       →      NaCl       +   H₂O

                       2 NaOH  +  H₂SO₄    →    Na₂SO₄  +  2 H₂O

                         NaOH    +  CH₃CO₂H  →   CH₃COONa  +  H₂O

In all theses simple reactions the base (i.e. OH⁻) abstracts proton from the acid and forming a conjugate base with negative charge. Thus the negative charged conjugate base forms a salt with positively charged sodium ions.

Evaporation: this is when warmth from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, streams, ice and soils to rise into the air and turn into water vapour (gas). water vapour droplets join together to make clouds! condensation: this is when water vapour in the air cools down and turns back into liquid water.
