Question

Which substances will make a salt when combined? (2 points) Vinegar and antacids Soda and wine Soap and ammonia Fertilizer and detergent

Answer 1

Answer is: Vinegar and antacids.

Chemical reaction: NaHCO₃ + HCl → NaCl + CO₂ + HCl.

Reaction occurs between antacid (sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate and hydrochloric acid.

For example, hydrogen carbonate mixed with water is used like antacid (neutralizes stomach acidity), contverts stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) to carbon dioxide.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A.

Vinegar and antacids combine to make salts. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which is weakly acidic in nature. Antacids are made of aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide both of which are weak bases.

The chemical reaction between vinegar and antacids is as follows:

3CH₃COOH + Al(OH)₃ → (CH₃COO)₃Al + 3H₂O

Here aluminium acetate is the salt formed.
