A dry pellet of a common base B, when kept in open absorbs moisture and turns sticky. The compound is also a by-product of chloralkali process. Identify B. What type of reaction occurs when B is treated with an acidic oxide ? Write a balanced chemical equation for one such solution.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a commonly used base and is hydroscopic, that is, it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and becomes sticky.
The acidic oxides react with base to give salt and water. The reaction between NaOH and `CO_(2)` can be given as
`2NaOH+ CO_(2) to Na_(2)CO_(3)+H_(2)O`
