Yes, NaClO4 is a salt, named Sodium perchlorate
Sodium Perchlorate . 122.44
NaClO4 has 1+1+4=6 atoms while CuCl has only two (1+1=2)
salt is not from salt water
Plain salt would mean ordinary table salt, as opposed to flavored salt . There are onion salt, garlic salt, seasoned salt, smoked salt , celery salt, etc. -- none of these would be plain salt.
Table salt is a salt - sodium chloride, NaCl.
the answer is NaClO4 also known as sodium perchlorate
3.70 moles NaClO4 (4 moles O/1 mole NaClO4) = 14.8 moles oxygen
Sodium Perchlorate . 122.44
NaClO4 + HCl → NaCl + HClO4
NaClO4a powerful oxidiser
sodium chlorateNaClO3 = Sodium Chlorate
NaClO is sodium hypochlorite.In this case the oxidation value of Cl is +1
NO, HClO4 is a very strong acid in water .
ClO4-1 + Na+1 + H+1 + OH-1 = NaClO4 +H2O.
NaClO4 has 1+1+4=6 atoms while CuCl has only two (1+1=2)
ANSWER I beg to differ that it does react in a HCl solution. But not the way the other guy said. NaClO4 + 8HCl = NaCl + 4Cl2 + 4H2O Similarly to the way bleach reacts with HCl. ---- Add the compound sodium perchlorate to water and let it dissolve. See the Related Questions link about how to prepare a solution.The sodium perchlorate will not react or be affected by the presence of HCl in the solution.ANSWER I beg to differ that it does react in a HCl solution.First lets look at the actual elements within this compound. Sodium perchlorate is NaClO4 and hydrochloric acid is HCl. Then look at the structure of each, which wikipedia has very good structures. Knowing how atoms and elements act with each other. You can see that the oxygen is very reactive due to its negative charge and only has one bond to the Cl, so, it wants to complete the 'octet rule'. Thus, it picks up the hydrogen from the HCl. This completes its octet rule and has no charge. Cl then is incomplete, making it reactive, thus, taking sodium to complete its octet rule. So all in all, this reaction creates Salt (NaCl) and percholric acid (HClO4)Here's the equation to clarify: NaClO4 + HCl -> NaCl + HClO4Hope this helps! ---- I have serious problems with the chemistry described above!As no new compounds are formed (all species are present in ionic form as soon as they dissolve and remain so until evaporated) the original answer is correct. And the chlorine atoms bonded to the central oxygen in the perchlorate ion each have a full compliment of 8 electrons. As well each oxygen has a full compliment of 8 electrons (two lone pairs plus two shared pairs). There is no rearrangement of electrons in the dissolving of NaClO4 in HCl(aq).
Positive oxidation numbers are most common with the metals - groups 1 to 13. However there are many well known compounds where non-metals have positive oxidation numbers- for example NaClO4 where Cl has an oxidation number of +7
