Question

Write the chemical name and formula of (a) common salt, and (b) caustic soda.

Answer 1

Hint: We have to remember that the salt is a mineral consisting predominantly of sodium chloride, a chemical compound belonging to the broader salt class; salt is referred to as rock salt or halite in its natural form as a crystalline mineral. In sea water, where it is the main mineral constituent, salt is present in large amounts.
As we know that the caustic soda does not produce systemic toxicity, but is rather CORROSIVE and in all tissues it comes into contact with can cause serious burns. Caustic soda poses a specific danger to the skin, as it can hydrolyze protein, causing serious harm to the eyes.

Complete step by step answer:
We need to remember that a chemical formula uses chemical element symbols, numbers, and sometimes other symbols, such as parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas and plus and minus signs, to present details about the chemical proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound or molecule.
a.The chemical name and formula of common salt is Sodium chloride and $$NaCl$$ .
b.The chemical name and formula of caustic soda is Sodium hydroxide and $$NaOH$$ .

Note: As we know that the chemical name for salt is sodium chloride. Sodium is an electrolyte that controls the body's volume of water. In nerve impulses and muscle contractions, sodium also plays a role. Sodium chloride is used to treat or reduce dehydration, excessive sweating, or other causes of sodium loss. We have to know that the sodium hydroxide is a major ingredient in cleaners for drains and ovens. It is used in chemical production, oil refining, water treatment, hydraulic drilling, and metal processing. It is used in clothing, plastic wrap, paper, and soap manufacturing.
