Answer :
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.
