$\text{NaOH"(aq) + "HCl"(aq) -> "NaCl"(aq) + "H"_2"O} \left(l\right)$

#### Explanation:

The reaction between sodium hydroxide $\left(\text{NaOH}\right)$ and hydrochloric acid $\left(\text{HCl}\right)$ is a neutralization reaction which results in the formation of a salt, sodium chloride $\left(\text{NaCl}\right)$, and water $\left(\text{H"_2"O}\right)$.

It is an exothermic reaction.
