AA gas and a solid metal oxide
BA salt and water in most cases
CAn acid and a base in solution
DTwo salts and a hydrogen gas
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. A salt and water in most cases
1. Neutralization is the special acid-base case where the reactants are an acid and a base.
2. Water itself is not one of the reactants in this case.
3. The products are usually a salt together with water.
4. Milk of magnesia and stomach acid give MgCl2 and water, which fits the pattern.
