Question
You are provided with the following chemicals:
NaOH, Na2CO3, H2O, Zn(OH)2, CO2, HCI, Fe, H2SO4, CI2, Zn.
Using the suitable chemicals from the given list only, state briefly how you would prepare sodium chloride.
Solution
Sodium chloride can be prepared by neutralising NaOH with HCI.
\[\ce{NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O}\]
