What is similar and different about the formula for hydrochloric acid and that for sodium chloride?
Answers
1. Sodium Chloride is neutral whereas hydrochloric acid is an acid.
2. Sodium Chloride is solid while hyrdochloric acid is a gas.
3. Sodium Chloride is used in the preparation of salt in industries whereas
hydrochloric acid is used in the production of batteries, flashbulbs, and fireworks.
Answer:
No, sodium chloride (NaCl) is known as common table salt.
When mixed with water, it makes a mild ionic solution of Na- and Cl+which has almost no effect on the Ph of the water. It makes up a large portion of the salt dissolved in Earth's oceans, and therefore in the blood of creatures evolved there--like us.
Hydrochloric acid arises from mixing hydrogen chloride (Hcl) with water to produce a powerfully acidic iconic solution of H3O+ and Cl-, which in strong concentrations is powerful enough to dissolve living tissue whole.
Our bodies manufacture hydrochloric acid to aid in digestion, but in high concentrations or outside it natural containment, it would be gruesomely deadly.
Literaly no, as asked with no suspected other things it might do given circumstances not listed here, the both are chlorides but the similarity ends there. HCl is Hydrogen gas mixed with chlorine gas and is a very corrosive gas that when mixed with water becomes hydrochloric acid as we know it.
NaCl is a salt, the one you eat with dinner. It is a reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas or a reaction of Hydrochloric acid and sodium metal. Stoichiometric mixtures result in a neutralization of the two to become the common salt that we know.
