Sodium chloride is a salt; the water solution is neutral.
NaCl, which is sodium chloride, is neither an acid nor a base. It is a salt that is formed by the reaction of a base (sodium hydroxide) with an acid (hydrochloric acid). When dissolved in water, NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions, neither of which contribute to the acidity or basicity of the solution.
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).
You can take sodium chloride to be pretty much neutral. In water, it dissociates into sodium and chlorine ions. The chlorine acts as a weak Bronsted base (It's the conjugate base of HCl), but the sodium acts a weak bronsted acid (It's the conjugate acid of NaOH).
Sodium chloride solution is neutral; NaCl is a salt.
No, NaCl is neither an acid, weak acid, or a (weak) base. It is considered a salt.
No, NaOH is a strong base and NaCl is the salt of a strong acid and a strong base and so has no acidic or basic properties. A buffer solution requires an acidic or basic salt and the corresponding weak acid or base.
A strange question, as not /every/ strong acid and strong base will form an NaCl solution. Was the real question maybe: "Which strong acid with which strong base can form an NaCl solution?" (which sounds a lot like a chemistry quiz question...) to which the answer would be: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) with equimolar amounts of Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (both naturally as aqueous solutions) will form an aqueous solution of NaCl: HCl + NaOH --> H+ + Cl- + Na+ + OH- --> H2O + Na+ + Cl-
NaCl is a salt formed by combination of a strong acid and a strong base, so it can't be put in simple acid or base category.
It is called an acid-base reaction. The product is called a salt. For example: NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O NaOH is the base. HCl is the acid. NaCl is the salt. H2O is water.
In acid base neutralisation, both the acid and the base react with each other to form salt and water. Ex: hcl+naoh --> nacl + hoh here, acid-hcl base-naoh salt-nacl water-hoh
Hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium chloride (NaCl) solution along with water. This reaction is a classic example of an acid-base neutralization reaction.
