AI Thread Summary
Mixing hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) results in a neutralization reaction that produces sodium chloride (NaCl), commonly known as table salt, and water (H2O). This reaction is a classic example of acid-base chemistry. The discussion highlights the importance of correctly identifying chemical compounds, as the initial query mistakenly referred to HCI instead of HCl. Understanding this reaction is fundamental in chemistry, demonstrating how acids and bases interact. The conversation emphasizes the simplicity and common occurrence of this neutralization process.

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
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
