This reaction involves a base (NaOH) and an acid (HCl), so it's a neutralization reaction, which is a special type of double-displacement reaction. Follow this procedure to write balanced molecular equations for double displacement reactions, when you know only the formulas of the reactants:
NaClO + 2 HCl â Cl2 + H2O + NaCl. If this reaction occurs in a sealed container (such as a soft-drink bottle) there will be an explosion as the chlorine gas builds in pressure. After the explosion, chlorine gas will be emitted.
