Answer:
1. naoh + h₂o → na⁺ + oh⁻ + h₂o + heat
2. naoh + hcl → nacl + h₂o
explanation:
1. the dissolving of naoh in water is an exothermic reaction resulting a heat. it also causes the dissociation of naoh to its ions (na⁺ and oh⁻).
so, the balanced equation will be naoh + h₂o → na⁺ + oh⁻ + h₂o + heat.
2. the reaction between acid and base resulting salt and water. it is considered as a neutralization reaction.
the reaction between hcl and naoh will give sodium chloride and water and the balanced equation will be naoh + hcl → nacl + h₂o.
