Question

Balancing of hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium chloride and water

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

(2)HCl + (2)NaOH→ (2)NaCl + (2)H2O

H total left = 4, Cl total left = 2, Na total left = 2, O total left = 2

H total right = 4, Cl total right = 2, Na total right = 2 O total right = 2

first balance the Cl and Na, then hydrogens, then oxygens. always balance the oxygens last.

total = 8

Answer 2

HCl + NaOH------> NaCl+ H20

This is the skeletal eqn

The balanced one is also the same as the no. of atoms is same on the RHS as well as the LHS.

RHS : LHS:

H=2 H=2

Cl=1 Cl=1

Na=1 Na=1

O=1 O=1
