The product other than water formed when acids and bases react is called a salt.

Here's a breakdown:

* Acid + Base → Salt + Water

This is a classic example of a neutralization reaction. The hydrogen ions (H+) from the acid combine with the hydroxide ions (OH-) from the base to form water (H2O). The remaining ions from the acid and base then combine to form the salt.

Example:

* HCl (acid) + NaOH (base) → NaCl (salt) + H2O (water)

In this reaction, hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce sodium chloride (NaCl), also known as table salt, and water.
