What acid do you add to sodium hydroxide to get sodium chloride?

HCl, or Hydrochloric Acid. You need an acid with Chlorine in it, and that's the most common one around, as well as the only one that I know of.


Would washing soda react with HCl?

Yes, washing soda (sodium carbonate) will react with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form carbon dioxide, water, and sodium chloride salt. This reaction is a type of neutralization reaction.


Is there any alkali metal in table salt?

No, table salt (sodium chloride) does not contain an alkali metal. It is composed of sodium and chlorine ions. Alkali metals like sodium are found in compounds such as sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate.


Is salt a compound?

Salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) is a compound.


What liquid leaves a residue of sodium chloride when evaporated?

Saltwater, which is a mix of water and dissolved sodium chloride, will leave a residue of sodium chloride when it evaporates. The water evaporates, leaving behind the salt as a white or clear crystal residue.


How do you know pH 11 is acid?

pH 11 is an alkali not an acid


Do you need water to know if something is an acid or alkali?

no you do not always need water to see whether something is acid or alkali


What is the formula for the salt which is formed when hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide?

HCl + NaOH --> H2O + NaCl The salt is NaCl or sodium chloride A.K.A. generic table salt. One good rule to know is that most of the time when you react an acid (like HCl) and a base (like NaOH) you will end up with a salt (otherwise known as an ionic compound) and water.


How do we know sodium chloride is not a element?

The analysis of sodium chloride demonstrated that the chemical formula is NaCl, containing Na and Cl.


What is the chemical name of sodium chloride?

the chemical name is sodium chloride, but if you need to be specific then i don't know what the name is, but i do know that one of the names is sodium chloride. sorry if i couldn't be of any assistance.


What are the elements sodium and chlorine classified?

Sodium is classified as a metal because it is a metal.Pure sodium (which you have probably never seen) is a bright, shiny, soft metal that is easily cut with a knife and which instantly reacts with air to form a dull patina. When dropped in water it reacts violently and explosively.Because it is so highly reactive, it does not exist in nature other than in compounds. You probably know it as the compound sodium chloride which is table salt, and is not a metal, but is the salt of a metal and a gas.


Is NaCl soluble in cyclohexane?

NaCl is NOT soluble in hexane. We did this experiment in my chemistry class so I know this statement is definitely correct, however I'm not sure why. I know it has something to do with the ionic bonding of sodium chloride being able to overcome the single bonds of hexane.
