Question

A dry pellet of a common base B. when kept in open absorbs
moisture and turns sticky. The compound is also a by-product of
chloralkali process. Identify B. What type of reaction occurs when
Bis treated with an acidic oxide? Write a balanced chemical
equation for one such solution.​

Answer 1

Answer:

NaOH(sodium hydroxide)

When sodium hydroxide is treated with acidic oxide.. Formation of a salt and water takes place due to neutralisation reaction

Answer 2

Answer:

Sodium hydroxide is a byproduct of chlor alkali process. When it is kept in open, it absorbs moisture and turns sticky.

The reaction of sodium hydroxide ( a base) with acidic oxides (acids ) is a neutralization reaction.

2NaOH+CO2----Na2CO3+H20
