b)

An acid and a base react to form water and a salt.

c)

An acid and a base react to form only carbonates.

d)

6.

What is the role of water in a neutralization reaction?

a)

Water is a reactant that increases acidity.

b)

Water is a byproduct that decreases pH.

c)

Water serves as a catalyst for the reaction.

d)

Water acts as a product of the reaction and helps stabilize the pH.

7.
