This depends for each salt; chlorides are stable, nitrates and carbonates are not stable.
- some salts as NaCl can be melted - other salts as Na2CO3 are thermally decomposed, obtaining a metal oxide
By heating salts can be dehydrated, thermally decomposed or melted.
No. Sodium is an element and elements cannot be broken down (decomposed) by a chemical change.
Some salts are melted, other sublime, other are thermally decomposed.
Sugar is easily decomposed by heating.
Any reaction, zinc carbonate is easily decomposed by heating.
All Sodium, Potassium, and ammonium salts are soluble in water.
Sodium chloride is decomposed by electrolysis.
Sodium extract is used to test for the presence of nitrogen, sulfur, or halogens in organic compounds because these elements will form sodium salts that can be easily detected. By reacting the organic compound with sodium metal, any of these elements present will form their respective sodium salts, which can then be identified through their characteristic color, smell, or precipitate.
Simple: sodium salts.
1. Toothpaste may contain salts as sodium chloride, sodium fluoride, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium pyrophosphate etc. 2. Bath salts contain sodium chloride, magnesium sulfate, borax, sodium bicarbonate etc.
The two salts belonging to the sodium family are sodium chloride (table salt) and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda).
