Neutralization reaction: NaCl + H2O

[LogicalAcid]

This is a subject I am unfamiliar with, and was just wondering where I should start in order to learn about them and how they affect different elements and form other substances step-by-step. From what I know, an Acid donated a Hydrogen Ion, and a Base takes a Hydrogen Ion, and an Acid has to have a base present in order to work (I think because it needs someone to take that heavy Ion of its hands). That's it really.

First things first - let's start with the simplest ideas.

Give an example of an acid.

Give an example of a base.

What happens when you mix them? Write reaction equation.

An Acid always has Hydrogen in it, because that is how they react (by losing the hydrogen Ion it has), for example, Hydrochloric acid is an Ion of Hydrogen, and an Ion of Chlorine (I think?).

A base is sodium bicarbonate, which reacts by taking Ions (like every other base), that is all I know.

I know how elements react, I still haven't gotten down to the writing of the equation, sorry.

Feel free to teach me, most people don't have the time and my school teacher is useless.

But when you mix them, I know a salt forms.

Salt forms, that a good point.

Sodium bicarbonate - while it is a base - is a more compliated case. Let's try something easier, like sodium hydroxide.

When you mix hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide - what products do you get?

Again, salt is formed when you mix a base with an acid. They neutralize each other, the chemistry of this I don't know. Has to do with a chemical reaction of course.

Maybe the salt formed has a lower Ph if the Base was stronger, and a higher Ph if the Acid was stronger?

 

[Borek]

Don't go too far, forget about pH and other things for now.

Salt forms, that we know. Try to finish the reaction:

NaOH + HCl = ____ + _____
