Why NACL solution is neutral?
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) solution is neutral because Sodium has a valency of +1 and Chlorine has a valency of -1 which means when they form a bond it is neutral. e.g. 1 - 1 = 0 Therefore, NaCl solution is neutral. If you are referring to it being neutral in terms of pH, it is because the Na+ and Cl- ions are pH neutral. In acid base terms NaCl is the salt of a strong acid (hydrochloric acid HCl) and a strong base (NaOH).
Is NaCl a strong base?
You can take sodium chloride to be pretty much neutral. In water, it dissociates into sodium and chlorine ions. The chlorine acts as a weak Bronsted base (It's the conjugate base of HCl), but the sodium acts a weak bronsted acid (It's the conjugate acid of NaOH).
Is NaCl (aq) an acidic neutral or basic solution?
A strange question, as not /every/ strong acid and strong base will form an NaCl solution. Was the real question maybe: "Which strong acid with which strong base can form an NaCl solution?" (which sounds a lot like a chemistry quiz question...) to which the answer would be: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) with equimolar amounts of Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (both naturally as aqueous solutions) will form an aqueous solution of NaCl: HCl + NaOH --> H+ + Cl- + Na+ + OH- --> H2O + Na+ + Cl-
Is Na-Cl an acid or base?
Sodium chloride solution is neutral; NaCl is a salt.
Why is HCl and NaCl a good buffer?
No, NaOH is a strong base and NaCl is the salt of a strong acid and a strong base and so has no acidic or basic properties. A buffer solution requires an acidic or basic salt and the corresponding weak acid or base.
Is NaCl a weak acid?
No, NaCl is neither an acid, weak acid, or a (weak) base. It is considered a salt.
Is NaCl an acid or a base?
NaCl is a salt formed by combination of a strong acid and a strong base, so it can't be put in simple acid or base category.
Is HCl plus NaOH acid ir base?
HCl+NaOH, when mixed in equimolar amounts, produces a neutral solution of NaCl.
Is common salt is acid or base?
Common salt, table salt, sodium chloride, NaCl, whatever you call it is pretty much neutral in solution. This is because the double-replacement acid-base reaction that produces it has HCl and NaOH as reactants, and these are a strong acid and a strong base. Therefore, their "strength," which is a measure of their degree of ionization in solution, is about the same, and will cancel out.
A reaction between an acid and a base is?
It is called an acid-base reaction. The product is called a salt. For example: NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O NaOH is the base. HCl is the acid. NaCl is the salt. H2O is water.
What is the process of acid base neutralization?
In acid base neutralisation, both the acid and the base react with each other to form salt and water. Ex: hcl+naoh --> nacl + hoh here, acid-hcl base-naoh salt-nacl water-hoh
Is NaCI a base or an acid or salt?
NaCl is a salt.
