SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). When these two substances are mixed, they undergo a neutralization reaction, resulting in the formation of sodium chloride (NaCl), commonly known as table salt, and water (H2O). This reaction is a fundamental example of acid-base chemistry and is often used in laboratory settings to demonstrate neutralization.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of acid-base reactions
  • Familiarity with chemical formulas (HCl, NaOH, NaCl, H2O)
  • Knowledge of neutralization processes in chemistry
  • Experience with laboratory safety protocols when handling acids and bases
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties and uses of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in industrial applications
  • Learn about the neutralization reactions and their applications in titration
  • Explore the safety measures for handling strong acids and bases in a laboratory setting
  • Investigate the role of sodium chloride (NaCl) in various chemical processes
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, laboratory technicians, educators teaching acid-base reactions, and anyone interested in chemical safety and reactions.

I'm just wondering what happens when you mix HCI and NaOH, could anyone answer me?

Welcome to PF.

Do you by any chance mean HCl - hydrochloric acid?

Because that leaves table salt and water.
 
Thanks :) Yeah I noticed, just had to read a few pages in my book, didn't notice it, but thanks
 
you get NaCl(a salt) and H20
