Question

The salt obtained when rock salt reacts with conc. Sulphuric acid below $200°C$ is a/an ________ [acid/normal] salt.

Answer 1

The salt obtained when rock salt reacts with conc. Sulphuric acid below $200°C$ is an acid salt.

1. A chemical reaction occurs when Sodium chloride is mixed with Sulphuric acid, resulting in the formation of Hydrogen chloride and sodium hydrogen sulphate.
2. In a reaction between strong acid and weak base occurs, the salt formed is called as acidic salt. e.g. Sodium hydrogen sulphate $\left(NaHS{O}_4\right)$

$2NaCl\left(s\right)+H_{2}S{O}_4\left(s\right)\to 2HCl\left(g\right)+NaHS{O}_4\left(s\right)$

$\left(Sodiumchloride\right)\left(Sulphuricacid\right)\left(Hydrochloricacid\right)\left(Sodiumbisulphate\right)$
