Question

explain why aqueous solution of sodium chloride is neutral but an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate is basic. write chemical equation of the reaction involved​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Aqueous solution of NaCl is neutral as Sodium and Chlorine are strong acid and base. They neutralise each other.

2Na + Cl2 ----------> 2NaCl

Na2Co3 has a basic Aqueous solution as Carbonate is a weak acid and Sodium is a strong base. Hence the resultant solution is basic in nature.

2NaHCo3 ---heat---> Na2Co3 + Co2 + H20
