Color change

why did (naoh) change his color when we mixed with (hcl)?

From what I remember

NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H₂O

where both the reactants and products are clear. If you also added [universal indicator] then NaOH would be a blue/purple colour, HCl a yellow/red colour and the products a green colour (if equal amounts of NaOH + HCl used). Hope this helps - Oatzy 21:08 GMT 04/10/05

A Hydroxide is not a ion... OH^- is one --Helios89 10:35, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

well... it depends on how u define the word hydroxide. different people may have different perception of its meaning. in the article, hydroxide refers to the ion containing O and H atoms with a negative charge(OH-). while some of us might have understood it as any alkali substances that have a pH value greater than 7. perhaps "ion" should be added to the title to avoid confusion?

Joke

 A physics professor and his assistant are working on liberating negatively charged hydroxyl ions, when all of a sudden,
 the assistant says, "Wait, Professor! What if the salicylic acids do not accept the hydroxyl ions?" And the professor
 responds, "That's no hydroxyl ion! That's my wife!"

I don't get it :-( --Slashdevslashtty 02:40, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get it either...

I get it, and its the worst joke I've ever heard. I'm sad

It's a joke from an early episode of the Cartoon Network cartoon "Dexter's Laboratory". It's not funny, and it's not very original. cobalt91 00:03, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For those of us who don't get it, will someone please explain! Even if it is bad, I'm the kind of person who wants to know :-( Poobarb 00:33, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

molar mass

Hey, isn't the molar mass of OH- about 17 g/mol, not 19??
