Ideally, water freezes when temperature is low enough for hydrogen bond to stabilize, due to less movement among the individual water molecules. What Na+ and Cl- ions do is they go in between the hydrogen bonds so that the H20 molecules cannot stabilize and thus, not only does it become solid at a higher temperature (ie increase it's freezing point), but it also causes water to have a higher melting point. That's why the pour salt when there's snow: so that it melts faster and easier.

How does forming a bond between sodium and Chloride affect the melting point of sodium chloride?
The ionic bonding in sodium chloride is much stronger than the internal bonding in either element that forms sodium chloride; therefore, the melting point of the salt is much higher than that of either element that forms the salt.
How does sodium chloride affect pH?
It is approximately pH 7.
Why sodium chloride does not melt?
The solubilty of sodium chloride increase with the temperature but the effect is not so important.
Can sodium chloride affect rust?
Yes, the anion chloride (Cl-) has a corrosive action.
How much sodium chloride affect an aqueous solution?
The solubility of sodium chloride in water is 360,0 g/L at 20 0C.
What affect does salt have in foods?
Sodium chloride improve the taste of foods.
How does temperature affect the solubility of sodium chloride?
Solubility increases with temperature.
Does sodium chloride make you forgetful?
it does. not immediately but it will affect you over time.
How does the phrase of water affect its specific heat capacity?
It is because the density increases as you add salt and with all other substances the higher the density the lower the specific heat. For example water has a density of 1000 Kg m -3 and a specific heat of 4186 J/Kg. On the other hand copper has a density of 8960 Kg m -3 and a specific heat of 385 J/Kg.
How does the amount of salt in a solution affect its freezing point?
Increasing the concentration of sodium chloride in water the freezing point is lower.
What factors affect the salinity of sea water near the shore?
the dissolved salts also known as ions not sodium and chloride.
How did salt affect mankind?
it helped mankind by it having a chemical compound made of sodium (NA) and chloride (CL) or Nac l
