Hello. Everyone in this video, we're going to take a look at these two agents and seeing how it can neutralize an acid and a base. So the asset that I would choose, it's actually gonna be whenever known assets. Same thing for the base. So for my acid I'll go ahead and choose H. C. L. From the list. And for base I'll choose N. A. O. H. Alright so now for our equations here and showing how it can neutralize the acid and the base. So for my acid starting with Hcl We'll go ahead and use our ch. three and age too. And then for our base we have R. N. A. H. That's going to go ahead and react with our CH33 and age three B. R. First one It will create the product of CH3, NH. c. And the second equation that's going to produce CH33 and age too. Of course with water and last year N. A. B. R. So these are an example of how the given regions can neutralize both an acid and a base. And the highlight is going to be our final answer for this problem. Thank you all so much for watching
