chlorine gas is evolved, do it in a well ventilated area if you are to do it Good answer and good advice. What the acid does is first neutralize the OH- present in the solution (left over from bleach production) and then protonate the hypochlorite ions to form hypochlorous acid: OCl- + H+ ---> HOCl The hypochlorous acid will then react with the excess H+ and Cl- to form Cl2 and H2O: HOCl + H+ + Cl- ---> Cl2 + H2O So the overall reaction taking place is: OCl- + 2 H+ + Cl- ---> Cl2 + H2O

∙ 11y agoWhen you add sodium hydroxide to hydrochloric acid it reacts to form a neutral salt (NaCl) in solution, once enough acid is added to neutralize all of the base.

What happens if phenolphthalein solution is added in hydrochloric acid?
Because Hydrochloric acid is an acid, phenolphthalein would be clear. In bases Phenolphtlalein becomes pink
What happens when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to magnesium?
Magnesium react easily with hydrochloric acid and magnesium chloride is obtained.
What happens when calcium metal is added to a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid?
it produces hydrogen
What happens when potassium hydroxide is added to hydrochloric acid?
Acid + Alkali -> Salt + Water For this case, Hydrochloric acid + Potassium hydroxide -> Potassium chloride + water HCl + KOH -> KCl + H2O
What happens when hydrochloric acid is added to sodium hydrogen carbonate?
NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2CO3

What happens when hydrochloric acid is added to sodium hydrogen carbonate?
NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2CO3
What make soluble in water will fizz when hydrochloric acid is added?
is soluble in water and will fizz when hydrochloric acid is added
What are good cleansers for the appendix?
Bleach, vinegar and hydrochloric acid.
Why no gas is released if sulphur is added to dilute hydrochloric acid?
No gas is released when sulphur is added to dilute hydrochloric acid.
What happens when you add Cu to hydrochloric acid?
When Cu is added to hydrochloric acid , no reaction takes place. This is because copper is less reactive than hydrogen and does not displaces hydrogen from solution.
What happens to sodium when added to hydrochloric acid?
NaCl salt is formed and H2 gas is given off
What happens to the indicator when hydrochloric acid is added to sodium hydroxide?
It turns from its original blue colour to red.
What happens if magnesium is added to hydrochloric acid is a singlereplacement reaction?
Yes, when magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid it is a single replacement reaction. The same is true for nearly all cases of a reaction between an acid and a metal.
