A dry pellet of a common base 'B' when kept in open absorbs moisture and turns sticky. the compund is also formed by chloralkals process. Identify B. What type of reaction occurs when B is treated withdilute hydrochloric acid. Write the chemical equation.
The compound B is NaOH, It is hygroscopic, and manufactured by chloralkali process from Brine
NaOH + HCl------> NaCl + H2O
