Mixing

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 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
