Question

Hydrochloric acid + Sodium hydroxide (base) → Sodium chloride (salt) + Water
Sodium chloride formed in this reaction remains in solution form. Can we get solid sodium chloride from this solution? Suggest a method (if any).

Answer 1

Answer: We can get sodium chloride by heating the solution.

Explanation:

When hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide, it leads to the formation of a salt known as sodium chloride and also releases water.

The salt formed is present in water, which is aqueous solution of sodium chloride is formed.

$HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)$

To obtain only salt from the solution, we will heat the solution to the boiling point of water that is 100°C. At this temperature, all water molecules gets converted to water vapor and his process is known as evaporation process.

Hence, we can get sodium chloride by heating the solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

We can get salt back by the process of evaporation.

Explanation:

We will heat the sodium chloride solution and get salt back in solid form.
