Hydrochloric acid is an acid.
HCl+NaOH, when mixed in equimolar amounts, produces a neutral solution of NaCl.
Common salt, or sodium chloride, is a neutral compound. It is formed from the reaction of a strong acid (hydrochloric acid - HCl) and a strong base (sodium hydroxide - NaOH), resulting in a neutral substance.
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).
To make a neutral solution, you can mix equal parts of an acid and a base. Alternatively, you can mix water with a substance that neither donates hydrogen ions nor hydroxide ions in significant amounts, such as a neutral salt like sodium chloride. A neutral pH is 7, indicating a balance of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.
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).
in solid state it is a neutral salt but its aqueous solution is slightly acidic in nature.
To determine which solution would require the greatest amount of base to reach a neutral pH, you would look for the solution with the lowest initial pH. For example, a strong acid solution, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) at a low concentration (e.g., pH 1), would require significantly more base to neutralize it compared to a solution with a pH closer to neutral, like a weak acid solution. The greater the acidity (lower pH), the more base is needed to achieve a neutral pH of 7.
If the quantities are balanced, you will receive a neutral solution. Alternative answer You get a salt and water, e.g. NaOH + HCl ---> NaCl + H2O
Neither, it is a neutral salt (conjugated with the strong acid HCl)
Strong acid with strong base always ends with neutral water and the resulting ions Na+ and Cl-, both neutral as well!
NaCl (sodium chloride) is a NEUTRAL salt. It is made from a strong acid (HCl) and a strong base (NaOH), thus a solution of this salt is neutral. When placed in water it hydrolyzes to produce HCl and NaOH.
it depends on the strength of the acid and base used: so, strong acid + strong base = neutral equivalence point strong acid + weak base = acidic equivalence point weak acid + strong base = basic equivalence point In this case, HCl is a strong acid, and Na2CO3 a weak base. Therefore, the equivalence point will be slightly acidic.
