Why would use hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide in neutralisation instead of other acids and alkalis?

Because it gives off very safe products. Table salt (NaCl) and water (H2O). This is only what I think, there are probably better answers than the one I gave.

If you use potassium hydroxide instead of sodium hydroxide what salt would you make?
potassium chloride
Is Hydroxide and element?
Hydroxide is not an element. Instead, it is a polyatomic anion that contains the two elements hydrogen and oxygen.
Is hydrochloric oxide safe to touch?
YES IS safe for zombies to touch hydrochloric oxide seeing that you eat brains instead of using them go ahead!
Would the enthalpy change be different if solid sodium hydroxide pellets were added to hydrochloric acid instead of adding hydrochloric acid to sodium hydroxide solution?
Yes, the reaction involving the solid is actually an individual step in the equation of the reaction between the solutions. If you were to add the change in enthalpy of the reaction with the solid NaOh to the change in enthalpy of the other step in the reaction (that's adding water and the NaOh pellets) you would find the sum equivalent to the change in enthalpy of the reaction involving the two solutions (this is supported by Hess's law). I suggest that you consider Hess's law for more information.
Why do we put vinegar in chips instead of hydrochloric acid?
We put vinegar in chips for the unique flavor the vinegar provides.

Why is magnesium hydroxide used as an antacid instead of sodium hydroxide?
Sodium Hydroxide is way too basic (very high pH) and would cause internal damage.
Is hydrochloric oxide safe to touch?
YES IS safe for zombies to touch hydrochloric oxide seeing that you eat brains instead of using them go ahead!
Can sodium chloride be used to make soap instead of lye?
No, because sodium chloride isn't alkaline; you could use sodium hydroxide instead of potassium hydroxide (lye) but sodium chloride wouldn't work very well.
What is potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide?
What do you want to know about it? Potassium hydroxide will dissolve in water to form a solution containing disassociated Ka+ and OH- ions. Potassium hydroxide is a strong alkali. Potassium hydroxide has the chemical formula KOH.

Is there a compound named carbon trihydride hydroxide?
There is a compound that could be called carbon trihydride hydroxide, but it is never called that. Instead it is called methanol, or sometimes methyl alchohol.
What compounds are in Potassium Hydroxide?
Potassium hydroxide is the compound potassium hydroxide but as it is quite hygroscopic the "dry form" also contains a significant amount of the compound water that it extracted from the surrounding air. If instead you were asking about its elements, they are: potassium, oxygen, and hydrogen.
What is the number of Hydrogen ions in 5.18 g of strontium hydroxide?
Strontium hydroxide is Sr(OH)2, with a molar mass of 121.6g/mol. If you have 5.18g of it, you have 5.18/121.6=0.0426mol of it. Multiply this by Avogadro's number to get 2.56x1022 representative particles of strontium hydroxide. Assuming you mean hydroxide ions instead of hydrogen ions, it's 2 hydroxide ions per formula unit, so double it to get 5.12x1022 hydroxide ions.
Why do we put vinegar in chips instead of hydrochloric acid?

Why is it safer to use powdered limestone instead of calcium hydroxide to neutralise acidic soil?
Because limestone is not dangerous when in contact with plants/animals etc. whereas I think calcium hydroxide is an irritant
