Neutralisation reactions follow the general structure –

metal oxide acid = salt water

the acid produces hydrogen ions and the metal oxide produces oxide ions – these combine to make the water

the salt is comprised of the remaining products – the metal and the other element from the acid

in this case, the other element is chlorine

The naming convention is to put the metal first for the salt created
