Sodium and chlorine can be separated from NaCl by electrolisys.
Separation is possible by dissociation in water solution:
NaCl---------------------Na+ + Cl-
Sodium chloride can be separated in components only by electrolysis of molten salt when ions are formed.
I am "Asking" how to separate NaCl into Na and Cl, not answering it !
Sodium chloride is separated from water by evaporation of water.
Sodium chloride is an ionic, polar compound and is dissociated in water:
NaCl-------------------Na+ + Cl-
NaCl---------------→Na+ + Cl-
The equation is: NaCl----------Na++ Cl-
Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl NaCl = salt.
Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl NaCl = salt.
NaCl --> Na+ + Cl- You could write water on either side I suppose, but it is negligible. I've also seen H2O written over the arrow.
NaCl-----------------Na+ + Cl-is a dissociation reaction.
Na^(+) + Cl^(-) = NaCl(s)
NA+ and Cl-
Sodium (Na) Chlorine (Cl)
The oxidation number of Na in NaCl is +1, while the oxidation number of Cl in NaCl is -1.
It easily dissolves and is disassociated.
