The reaction you provided can be classified as a double replacement reaction. In this reaction, the cation and anion of the reactants exchange places to form new products. In the case of NaOH and HCl, Na+ pairs with Cl- to form NaCl, while H+ pairs with OH- to form water (H2O).
Acid-base reactions, such as this one, can also be classified as which type of reaction?
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
