descriptive chemistry question

    what would be the product of the reaction between...

    sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid?

    also...

    carbon dioxide gas bubbled through lithium hydroxide?

    I am studying for my AP chemistry class, and we are doing a unit on acid base neutralization reactions, though neither of the above seem to be an example of acid base neutralization. Overall, i think it is just a basic metathesis reaction, but i am not sure

    any help would be appreciated!

    Well for the first one I'd imagine the products should be sodium chloride and nitric acid and for the second reaction I'd say lithium bicarbonate. Neither of the reactions are acid-base neutralisations anyway. Hope that helps.

    The products of the first would be nitrous not nitric acid + NaCl.
    carbon dioxide gas bubbled through lithium hydroxide?
    Do you mean LiOH solution? In which case it is an acid/base reaction because the CO2 forms carbonic acid with the water which is neutralised by the base to-> lithium carbonate + H2O.
