You could use hydrochloric acid, HCl, and sodium hydroxide, NaOH.
You could use hydrochloric acid, HCl, and sodium hydroxide, NaOH.
The reaction is:
NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O
Sodium chloride is neutral.
its a salt
If you mean common table salt (sodium chloride), then neither. Sodium chloride is neutral.
Nope, sodium chloride is not an acid. It is more of a base due to its pH of 6.7 to 7.3 causing it to be a neutral/base. Also, it is ingested by humans, so lets hope its not a base!
HCl (hydrochloric acid) and NaOH (sodium hydroxide) will react to NaCl (sodium chloride) and water.
In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride
The anion from an acid is Cl- and the cation from a base is Na+.
A base - sodium hydroxide.
It is an acid-base reaction and will form water and sodium chloride.
Sodium chloride solution is neutral; NaCl is a salt.
NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O acid base reaction yields salt ( sodium chloride ) and water
Sodium (s) and chlorine (g)---> NaCl (s) I don't think either are strong acids or bases.
