Apart from water, the other product(s) of the neutralization reaction between NaOH solution and nitrogen (IV) oxide is/are

  • A) NaNO2
  • B) NaNO3
  • C) NaNO3 ?and HNO3
  • D) NaNO2 ?and NaNO3

Correct Answer: B) NaNO3

Explanation

When sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution reacts with nitrogen (IV) oxide (NO\(_2\), a neutralization reaction occurs. The products of this reaction are the neutralized form of the NaOH, which is sodium nitrate (NaNO\(_3\), and water (H\(_2\)O). Therefore, the correct option in this question is Option B: NaNO\(_3\). NaNO\(_2\) (Option A) is not the correct answer as it is not a product of the reaction. Option C (NaNO\(_3\) and HNO\(_3\) is also incorrect because HNO\(_3\) is not a product of the reaction. Option D (NaNO\(_2\) and NaNO\(_3\) is also incorrect as NaNO\(_2\) is not a product of the reaction. It is important to note that neutralization reactions are a type of chemical reaction where an acid and a base react to form a salt and water. The NaOH solution is a base and the NO\(_2\) is an acid. Neutralization reactions are very important in our everyday lives, as they are involved in processes such as the digestion of food in our stomachs.
