Question

If equal volumes of 0.1 M NaOH and 0.1 M HCl are mixed, the resulting solution will contain a salt and what?

Answer 1

Answer : The resulting solution will contains a salt and water.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O$

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that 1 mole of  hydrochloric acid react with 1 mole of sodium hydroxide to give 1 mole of sodium chloride and 1 mole of water.

This reaction is an acid-base reaction or neutralization reaction in which an acid react with a base to give a salt and water as a product.

In this reaction, HCl and NaOH are the reactants and NaCl and water are the products.

Hence, the resulting solution will contains a salt and water.
