Name 3 acids that are used in school labs?

I am doing a science lab with my class where different liquids are added to cabbage juice. If the mixture remains purple, the liquid was a neutral. If it turns blue, it was a base, and if it turns red, it was an acid. Because this is for elementary students, they will be testing mild acids like orange juice, lemon juice, tomato juice, etc.

NaCl is NOT soluble in hexane. We did this experiment in my chemistry class so I know this statement is definitely correct, however I'm not sure why. I know it has something to do with the ionic bonding of sodium chloride being able to overcome the single bonds of hexane.


What are the elements sodium and chlorine classified?

Sodium is classified as a metal because it is a metal.Pure sodium (which you have probably never seen) is a bright, shiny, soft metal that is easily cut with a knife and which instantly reacts with air to form a dull patina. When dropped in water it reacts violently and explosively.Because it is so highly reactive, it does not exist in nature other than in compounds. You probably know it as the compound sodium chloride which is table salt, and is not a metal, but is the salt of a metal and a gas.
