Answer:
reactants: HCl and NaOH
Explanation:
A chemical reaction or equation can be explained with reference of two components: the reactants and products
Reactants are atoms, molecules or ions that are present of the left side of the equation. These could either be a single entity which can break or decompose under a given conditions or they could combine with other entities appropriately to form new molecules, atoms, ions etc. These new molecules occupy the right side of the reaction and are termed as Products.
The given reaction is and acid-base neutralization reaction
HCl + NaOH -----> NaCl + H2O
Reactants:
HCl, hydrochloric acid
NaOH, sodium hydroxide
Products:
NaCl, sodium chloride
H2O, water
