What do you get when you add

Question

NaCl and H2O???

Answer 1

NaCl solution

aka brine

Answer 2

And now for something completely different ...

You get the conjugate acid and conjugate base of HCl and NaOH.

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) --> NaCl(aq) + HOH(l)

------- or --------

You get a salt and water, as opposed to assault and battery.

======== Follow up =======

Enough joking around.  There's a misconception lurking in Gunjack's response that cries out to be fixed.

Gunjack wrote:

NaCl + H2O -> NaOH + HCl

But that is impossible.  NaCl exists as Na+ ions and Cl- ions and neither one will hydrolyze (react with water) to make HCl  or NaOH.  Both HCl and NaOH are strong and therefore completely dissociated.

Sorry Gunjack,

NaCl + H2O -> NaOH + HCl

is utterly "bogus".

Answer 3

A solution; Na+ and Cl- ions each surrounded by water molecules and moving around more or less independently.

Answer 4

aqueous solution of NaCl which is also called brine.

    NaCl + H2O -> NaOH + HCl
