it smelles like fish

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Answer -
Nothing

● Explanation -
- Molecular formula of common salt is NaCl and that of baking soda is NaHCO3.
- When sodium bicarbonate is added to common salt solution, there's no reaction, but only dissociation takes place.
NaHCO3 + NaCl + H2O ---> Na+ + Cl- + HCO3-, H+, OH-
- As there's no reaction taking place, it would not smell anything.
