Acid-Base Reaction


(Created prior to 1993)

Question: When HCl and NaOH is mixed, a salt and water are produced, right?  
If you boil off the water would you have pure salt, NaOHCl.
------------------------------------------------
Yes, you should.  And how much you get depends on what the 
concentrations of your acid and base were originally.
