It is an acid.
Table salt, also known as sodium chloride, is a neutral compound and is neither an acid nor a base. It is formed from the reaction between a strong acid (hydrochloric acid) and a strong base (sodium hydroxide), resulting in a neutral pH.
To make an acid or a base neutral, you can add a substance called a neutralizer. For acids, you can add a base (like sodium hydroxide), and for bases, you can add an acid (like hydrochloric acid). The neutralizer will react with the acid or base to form water and a salt, resulting in a neutral pH.
HCL* and no, HCL (hydrochloric acid) is obviously an acid, and not a base. this is because on the pH scale HCL has a rating higher than 7pH, making it not a base nor neutral. ;)
To neutralize a base with a pH of 9, you would add an acid of equal strength. For example, you could add hydrochloric acid (pH=-1) to the base to neutralize it and bring the pH closer to 7, which is neutral.
The word neutralization means theproduct is neutral. Acid + base = Salt(neutral) + water HCl + NaOH = NaCl + HOH Hydrochloric acid + Sodium hydroxide = Salt + water
Calcium chloride solution is neutral.

Our stomachs are stronger acidic (pH 2!) from hydrochloric acid.

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).
The word neutralization means theproduct is neutral. Acid + base = Salt(neutral) + water HCl + NaOH = NaCl + HOH Hydrochloric acid + Sodium hydroxide = Salt + water
No, hydrochloric acid is an acid, not a base. It is a strong acid that dissociates in water to release hydrogen ions.
Hydrochloric acid is classified as an acid.
A reaction between a strong acid and a strong base will yield a neutral solution because the resulting salt will be neutral. Strong acids completely ionize in water to yield H+ ions, and strong bases completely dissociate to yield OH- ions, which neutralize each other to form water. Examples of a strong acid and base reacting to form a neutral solution include HCl (hydrochloric acid) and NaOH (sodium hydroxide).
