Answer:

The question is partially wrong. For spills of strong bases, such as sodium hydroxide, it must be neutralized with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid. Otherwise, for acid spills, neutralize them with sodium bicarbonate. The reactions are as follows:

Base spills: H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Sulfuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide forming sodium sulfate and water.

Acid spills: H2SO4 + 2NaHCO3 → Na2SO4 + 2CO2 + 2H2O

Sulfuric acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate forming sodium sulfate, water and carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

For the destruction of strong inorganic bases such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) they must be neutralized with a dilute solution of sulfuric acid or a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid.

For the destruction of strong inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid, they must be neutralized with an inorganic base such as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

NAHCO3 <span>doesn't help basic spills. It's slightly basic itself. It's good for acid spills though. It's not a very strong base so any leftover NaHCO3 won't be a hazard.
I DONT KNOW about h2so4</span>

<span>1. The two qualities used to describe winds are direction and speed.
2. a local wind that blows during the day from an ocean toward land is a(n) sea breeze.
3. The increase in cooling that wind can cause is called the wind-chill factor.
4. Temperature differences between the equator and poles produce convection currents.
A movement that is parallel to Earth's Surface is called wind and a local wind is that wind that blows over a short distance.</span>

Consider the following reaction:
NeX [460]

For the given reaction, according to the Law of Conservation of Energy, the energy required to decompose Hcl and produce H_{2}+c l_{2} are equal.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to law of conservation's of energy, energy can only be transferred from reactants to product side. So in this process, it is stated that 185 kJ of energy will be needed to decompose it. So that 185 kJ of energy will be getting transferred to produce the creation of hydrogen and chloride in the product side.

So if we see from the reactants side, the energy of 185 kJ is required for decomposition of hydrogen chloride. Similarly, if we see from the product side, the 185 kJ utilized for decomposition is transferred as energy required to create hydrogen and chlorine atoms. This statement will be in accordance with the law of conservation's of energy.
