Answer

Na OH reacts with H Cl and forms Na Cl and H₂O

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

Here we can see that 1 mole of NaOH reacting with 1 mole of HCl and forming 1 mole of NaCl and 1 mole of H₂O

when NaOH and HCl are added together in equal amount then they will completely neutralize each other but NaOH is hygroscopic in nature which means it can absorb water from air so it will not be weighted accurately.

hence, for neutralization we will take extra NaOH.

Name the following ionic compounds that contain transition metals. Use the periodic table provided

Goryan [66]

The correct name of the compound CuCl is copper I chloride.

An ionic compound is formed two atoms when one loose electrons and the other atoms gains those electrons. Ionic bonds are actually an ion pair, a pair of oppositely charged ions held together by electrostatic interaction. Transition metals are elements with incompletely filled d orbitals. Copper is a transition element.

The compound CuCl is named copper I chloride. We can see that the copper is in the +1 oxidation state in this compound hence the name.
