Given the reaction:HCl(aq) + LiOH(aq) → HOH(ℓ) + LiCl(aq)The reaction is best described as(1) neutralization(2) synthesis(3) decomposition(4) oxidation-reduction

Sagot :

it is going to be neutralization 
(aq) is same 

Answer: The correct answer is Option 1.

Explanation:

From the given options:

Option 1: Neutralization reaction

This reaction is defined as the chemical reaction where an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water molecule.

[tex]HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O[/tex]

Option 2: Synthesis reaction

This reaction is defined as the chemical reaction where substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound.

[tex]A+B\rightarrow AB[/tex]

Option 3: Decomposition reaction

This reaction is defined as the chemical reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

[tex]AB\rightarrow A+B[/tex]

Option 4: Reduction reaction

This reaction is defined as the reaction where a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

[tex]X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X[/tex]

For the given chemical reaction:

[tex]HCl(aq.)+LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+LiCl(aq.)[/tex]

Here, an acid reacts with base and it produces water and a salt. This reaction is defined as a neutralization reaction.

Thus, the correct answer is Option 1.
