What does the reaction of hydrogen chloride and sodium hydroxide produce?

hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide --> sodium chloride + waterHCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2ONeutralisationAcids and alkalis react with each other. The alkali cancels out the acid in the reaction. This is called neutralisation. A salt is made. The salt contains the metal atom from the alkali, and part of the acid molecule. The salt made depends on the acid and alkali used.


What is the formula for cooking salt?

You can mix an acid and a base to make salt and water true fact <><><><><> For example, Sodium Hydroxide and Hydrochloric Acid... NaOH + HCl ---> H2O + NaCl However, don't try it without very precise control over mass, because any excess acid or base will remain in the salt/water mixture, and tasting it could be dangerous.


What substance can be used to get rid of sulphur dioxide?

Sulfur doxide can be removed with a caustic solution such as NaOH in water.


Is sodium Na used as salt?

Sodium has many common uses. Have you ever put salt on a dish to give it more flavor? You are actually putting on Sodium Chloride (NaCl), a compound of the element. Some of it's other uses are Soda Ash (Na2CO3), Baking Soda (NaHCO3), Caustic Soda (NaOH), Sodium Nitrate (NaNO3), Sodium Thiosulfate (hypo, Na2S2O3 - 5H2O), and Sodium Sulfate (Na2SO4), the sodium salt of sulfuric acid (Keep in mind that these are nowhere close to all the uses of sodium, but some)ans2Sodium is used in alot of food, especially salt. It is also used in alot of medicines!:) hope i heped!

What is salt bridge?

A salt bridge is a device used in chemistry laboratories to connect the oxidation and reduction half-cells of a voltaic cell (galvanic cell).


Calculate the pH of solution formed when 30cm3 of 0.125m naoh are reacted with 25cm3 of 0.15m hcl at 298k?

No. of mol of NaOH used = 30/1000 x 0.125 = 0.00375No. of mol of HCl used = 25/1000 x 0.15 = 0.00375No. of mol of HCl used = No. of mol of NaOH used.Hence, the resultant solution will be neutral. pH ~ 7.(NaCl formed is a neutral salt, does not undergo any form of salt hydrolysis)

Can sand be used instead of salt for grit?

Unfortunately no


What can you conclude about naoh?

NaOH is a strong base.It helps in the manufacture of NaCl that is the salt we used in day to day life.


What are the uses of calomel electrodes?

What kind of electrolyte used in salt bridge and why?

Is salt and water an appropriate substitute for sodium hydroxide?

Unlikly; as the NaOH solution is quite caustic. In fact its "generic" name is "Draino" or "Lye". It is also used to change animal fat to soap. You may swim in salt water; however, you may "turn to soap", if you swim in NaOH :-)!


Why is salt bridge used in the construction of the cell instead of the wires?

A Salt-Bridge can be constructed using a glass tube filled with a high concentration of an inert salt such as KCl that employs a porous plug at both ends, a saline soaked piece of paper or cardboard, or a fritted-glass disk. In any case, the salt-bridge is arranged so that inert ions can flow between the half-cells, but gross mixing of the half-cell solutions is prevented. As the Battery operates, Cl-, in the case of the glass-tube construction, will flow from the Salt-Bridge into the Anode so as to counter the build-up of Positive Ions. At the same time, K+ ions will flow into the Cathode to replace the depleted Positive Ions. KCl is frequently used for Salt-Bridge construction because the ionic mobilities of K+ adn Cl- are nearly equal.


What products form when neutralization occurs?

Hi there, when you mix an acid and base you always get water and a salt. The salt you get depends on which acid and bases are used. ie. HCl + NaOH gives NaCL and H20


Could a voltmeter be used in a wheatstone bridge instead of an ammeter?
