Chapter 18, Problem 85A

What acid and base must react to produce an aqueous sodium iodide solution?

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name of acid and base which should react to form aqueous sodium iodide solution are to be written.

Concept introduction:

Acid gives hydrogen ion and base gives hydroxyl ion in aqueous solution. This concept is used to find out the answer.

Answer to Problem 85A

$AcidHIandbaseNaOH$ reacts to form sodium iodide solution.

Explanation of Solution

When acid and base reacts, neutralization reaction takes place. Salt and water is formed in aqueous solution as:

$HI+NaOH\to NaI+H_{2}O$

Conclusion

Thus, $HIandNaOH$ reacts and form sodium iodide.
