When an acid reacts with a base, then a salt and water are formed. When hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide solution, then a neutralisation reaction takes place to form sodium chloride and water.
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Such a reaction is termed as neutralisation reaction.
