A chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react to produce salt and water is called a neutralization reaction. In the neutralization reaction shown below, which substance is the salt? perchloric acid + sodium hydroxide → sodium perchlorate + water

The answer to your question is Sodium Perchlorate

Explanation:

Data

which is the salt?

Chemical reaction

    Perchloric acid  +  Sodium hydroxide ⇒  Sodium perchlorate + Water

      HClO₄               +       NaOH                =         NaClO₄                 + H₂O

Process

In inorganic chemistry there are two types of salts:

- Binary salts

- Oxysalts

Binary salts are inorganic compounds form by a metal and a nonmetal (only two compounds).

Oxysalts are inorganic compounds form by metal, a nonmetal, and oxygen (three elements).

In the reaction given the only compound that has these characteristics is Sodium perchlorate which is an oxysalt.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
