In this video, I will show you the reaction of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The product is sodium chloride, also known as table salt. Don´t eat the product please ! You will need: - hydrochloric acid - sodium hydroxide - a 100ml container - a 100ml Erlenmeyer flask.
The reaction is : NaOH+ HCl=NaCl+H2O. This process is called neutralization. The product is not acidic, not basic, it´s neutralized. You can also evaporate the product to get clear sodium chloride. Thank you for watching. Please, subscribe, rate and comment.

  • Great visual. Love the music and editing. Where did you get HCL from?

  • @themanskillet Thanks :) I bought mine from a hardware store, 33%. If you want to have some, look for "Muriatic acid", that´s HCl. Please subscribe for more great videos :)

  • So... what were the gloves for exactly?!!....

  • @1crsv1 When handling with hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, gloves must be present. These are very corrosive chemicals.

  • @ChemExperimentalist i was being sarcastic... you didn´t use the gloves at all...

  • @1crsv1 Well if i burn my hands, it´s my problem. I just dont want to make my viewers burn themselves, I care about my viewers. Just take it easy ;)

  • @dukilaki Ugly for a laic, beautiful for a chemist.

  • Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen gas?

  • @ ChemExperimentalist Hello Sir! Could be helpful enough to answer one question that I can't figure out. It's the following: A chemical company would like to increase its production of sodium chloride used for de-icing roads. And basically they want me to give suggestions.

    Thanks in advance!

  • @a1starrynite nothing you can just buy salt this is just for chemistry

  • I was wondering about the results - apart from the balanced equation. Now I get to see it.

    Thank you.

  • How the hell do you get hydrogen gas... he did the (basic as you can get) stoichiometry and there is no H2 there.. just water..

    Wat.

  • Funny how you should be knowing as an amateur chemist that this doesn't make any hydrogen gas as a product.

  • This is very cool... but I have a question; if you can't eat the resulting NaCL then what else can it be used for?

  • Like I saw 33% but like 3M or what?

  • I need know asap what concetration the HCL you used was?? THANKS!
