How could the flame test be used to detect sodium chloride impurity?

Pure sodium chloride will burn and create a pure orange flame. If there are impurities present, you would see flickers or inconsistancies in the solid orange flame. Note, use a platinum wire to hold sample while burning, as a wooden split can cause these flickers if it starts to burn

In making the 3 5dinitrobenzoate ester derivative what other compounds could be found?
Using the acid chloride one byproduct derivative could be the 2.5dintrobenzoate ester compound. Washing it with sodium bicarbonate could release the impurity and allowing harvesting.
How could you separate sodium from the chlorine in the liquid salt compound?
You could melt Sodium chloride and use electrolysis to separate the Sodium and the Chlorine, which is how Sodium is produced on an industrial scale.
If you could melt a sample of sodium chloride would you expect it to conduct electricity?
yes, molten sodium chloride may conduct the electricity but is not a good electrolyte.
How could you tell whether the white crystals you have are sodium chloride or sodium iodide?
Crystals are white and cloudy
Is potassium chloride used as substitute for sodium chloride?
This is a loose question. Since the most well known use for salt is in human diet, we could start an answer in this context. To replace dietary sodium chloride salt completely with potassium could well have fatal effects. Sodium chloride is essential for the function of the nervous system. However a high sodium (ion) intake can also be fatal. In the last few years, low sodium (ion) salts have been marketed. These might have as little 35% of the sodium of typical sodium chloride table salt, the substitute for the missing sodium is sometimes purely potassium chloride and sometimes potassium with some magnesium.
What base could you mix together to form sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is the product of the reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrogen chloride.

Which salt has the most sodium cloride in it?
The only pure salt that has any sodium chloride {note correct spelling} in it is the salt sodium chloride itself. Many mixtures of salts could contain sodium chloride in the mixture.
Can sodium chloride be used to make soap instead of lye?
No, because sodium chloride isn't alkaline; you could use sodium hydroxide instead of potassium hydroxide (lye) but sodium chloride wouldn't work very well.
Why could a injection of sodium chloride could be fatal?
because it is a poison.
Could salt be classified as a narcotic?
Sodium chloride is not a narcotic.
How could you separate sodium from the chlorine in the liquid salt compound?
You could melt Sodium chloride and use electrolysis to separate the Sodium and the Chlorine, which is how Sodium is produced on an industrial scale.
Is sodium chloride a personal protective equipment?
Sodium chloride (common table salt) is not any kind of equipment. It is a chemical. It could be a component of some equipment.
If you could melt a sample of sodium chloride would you expect it to conduct electricity?
yes, molten sodium chloride may conduct the electricity but is not a good electrolyte.
How could you tell whether the white crystals you have are sodium chloride or sodium iodide?
Crystals are white and cloudy
What does NaCl stand for?
NaCl is an element compound created from both the metal element sodium, and the air element Chlorine. The compound name is Sodium Chloride. NaCl could also mean "North American Coating Labs", and "Networking and Cryptography Library".
