\(\mathrm{NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) \rightarrow NaCl(aq) + H_2O(l)}\)
This is a neutralisation reaction: a base (sodium hydroxide) reacts with an acid (hydrochloric acid) to give a salt (sodium chloride) and water. It is also a double displacement reaction, since Na+ and H+ exchange partners. The H+ ions of the acid and the OH− ions of the base combine to form water, and heat is released.
The equation is already balanced: 1 Na, 1 O, 2 H and 1 Cl on each side.
