Can a base be neutralized by a hydroxide if not why?
Hydroxide compounds such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are bases. Bases do not neutralize other bases. Acids neutralize bases.
Can hydrochloric acid form salt?
Yes. If hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide or some other basic sodium compound one of the products will be sodium chloride, or table salt.
What would happen if sodium hydroxide was mixed with hydrochloric acid?
Of course, the concentration matters in terms of total energy released, but you do get an energetic reaction in which the acid and the base neutralize each other, producing water and salt (sodium chloride) as well as heat. The solution could be heated to the boiling point by such a reaction. The balanced chemical equation would look like this: NaOH (sodium hydroxide) + HCL (hydrochloric acid) = NaCl (salt) + H2O (water)
What is the difference between Sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid?
There two different things. Sodium hydroxide is NaOH And hydrochloric acid is HCl. (btw these equations aren't balanced or anything)
Which of these are bronstead bases - HCl NH3 NaOH?
Hydrochloric acid, HCl. The other two, ammonia, NH3, and sodium hydroxide, NaOH, are bases.
What is the best substance to neutralise sodium hydroxide solution?
Any acid can be used to neutralize a base such as sodium hydroxide. If you have a concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide, you could neutralize it most efficiently with a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid. You can also neutralize it with Coca Cola, or vinegar, or many other acidic chemicals, but it would require a larger amount than if you used hydrochloric acid.

Is salt a base of an acid?
A salt is neither an acid or a base. Salts are formed when acids and bases neutralize each other forming the salt and water. Example: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) + Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) = Sodium chloride (NaCl) + Water (H2O)

How are sodium chloride and sodium hydroxide different?
because one says chloride and the other says hydroxide
Is sodium hydroxide known as lye?
Correct. Lye applies not completely to sodium hydroxide, but also to other strong alkali, like potassium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide just happens to be the most common form of it.
What is the formula for the active ingredient in Drano?
Drano in its crystal form is composed of sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, and aluminum. There are other types of Drano products, such as liquid and aerosol varieties that may have some other ingredients.
Which one of the following is an example of a strong base?
Apex: Sodium HydroxideConfirmed it thanks to the other guy.
What do you call the two chemicals that react together in antacid tablets?
Calcium Hydroxide (Alkali in the stomach) and Gastric Acid (in the stomach)
