Question

What happens when baking soda reacts with dil hydrochloric acid?

Answer 1

Combining an acid with a base typically results in water and salt. In some cases, these reactions release gas and heat as well. Mixing baking soda, or NaHCO3, with hydrochloric acid, or HCl, results in table salt, NaCl, as well as water, H2O, and carbon dioxide, CO2.
