Here is your answer

No Reaction

REASON:

When Sodium Chloride(NaCl) reacts with Hydrochloric acid(HCl), there will not be any reaction.

This is because NaCl is a neutral salt and HCl is a strong acid which when dissolved in water(for reaction) dissociates into its ions

i.e. NaCl+H2O---> Na+ and Cl-

HCl+H2O---> H3O+ and Cl-

and further no reaction takes place.

HOPE IT IS USEFUL

When Sodium Chloride reacts with Hydrochloric acid. Sodium Chloride does not react with Hydrochloric acid to form a new chemical compound or substances . But the solubility of NaCl will decrease due to the common ion effect. It does not mean that the Cl- ions of the crystal will be just from initial NaCl. Cl- ions from HCl can be present in the crystal of Sodium Chloride.
