Question

Why is sodium chloride salt not prepared by reacting sodium directly with hydrochloric acid?

Answer 1

Answer:

because sodium reacts violently with water. So, it is advised not to put it into water as explosions can occur. It's also highly unlikely to obtain pure salt solution. So, these salts are mostly made by mixing an acid and an alkali.

Answer:

And salts of very reactive metals,such as sodium,cannot be made this way because the reaction between the metal and the acid is too vigorous to be carried out safely.
