Which statement is true about sodium chloride (NaCl)?
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is : It is a salt because it is formed by the reaction of an acid and a base.

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is formed from the neutralization reaction between a strong acid (hydrochloric acid) and a strong base (sodium hydroxide):

HCl + NaOH ---> NaCl + H20

By reacting strong acid and base, they neutralize each other resulting in a salt (NaCl) and water.

Corresponds to an exothermic reaction (heat is released).
