Best Answer

Mixing correct amounts of hydrochloric acid (HCL) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) gives you water (H2O) and table salt (NaCl). If done properly, the mixture would be harmless and if tasted, would taste salty. In a classroom, it should not be touched nor tasted unless first insuring that it is neither too acidic or alkaline, unless the teacher does it first to show it does no harm.

Is sodium hydroxide unknown solution?

Sodium hydroxide is not an unknown solution.


Barium hydroxide contained 2.74g in 100cm of water titration of 20cm required 18.7cm of a hydrochloric acid solution for complete neutralization what is the molarity of the barium hydroxide?

Barium Hydroxide: Mass: 2.74g. Mr = 171. Moles = Mass (g)/Mr Therefore - 2.74/ 171 = 0.01602339181mols.


How do you make a pure sample of salt?

Sodium hydroxide is an alkali. If you take solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide that have the same concentration, and mix equal volumes of them, the sodium hydroxide neutralises the acid. if you take tests with the solution on universal indicator paper, you will find it has pH7. If you leave the solution to evaporate, you will see crystals of salt. This is the kind of salt you put on your chips but remember not to eat them in a laboratory! =)


What chemical should be added to neutralize hydrochloric acid?

Add the correct amount of an Alkali, such as Sodium Hydroxide. Use an indicator to find out when it has been neutralized, such as phenolphthalein (however you spell it) or Universal Indicator.

What is the compound that reacts with potassium to form potassium hydroxide?

Potassium Hydroxide(KOH) is a base (it is "basic"). An acid will neutralize a base. Acetic acid can be used to neutralize KOH. Baking soda is a base, so it will not work to neutralize KOH.
