Question

write the formula of sodium chloride and sodium carbonate explain why an aqueous solution of sodium chloride is neutral but an aqua solution sodium chloride is basic or alkaline write the chemical equation of a reaction involved

Answer 1

NaCl is a neutralization product of a strong acid(HCl) and strong base(NaOH) and it is pure ionic compound so it acts as neutral solution in aqueous medium. So, when sodium chloride is dissolved in water, its ions dissociate, meaning that they separate. ... No hydronium ions or hydroxide ions are formula

Answer 2

Answer:

The aqueous solution of sodium chloride is neutral because it is formed from a strong acid and a strong base. The aqueous solution of sodium carbonate is basic because it gets hydrolysed to some extent and forms sodium hydroxide which is a strong base and carbonic acid which is a weak acid.
