What else can I help you with?
Is a salt water a pure substances?
no, it's a mixture. Salt is a pure substance, as is water, but together they are a mixture.
What happens when salt goes into water?
When salt is added to water, the salt crystals dissolve into the water molecules, forming a solution. This process is called dissolution. The salt molecules separate into ions (sodium and chloride) in the water, making the water salty.
In an aqueous solution of an ionic salt the oxygen atom of the water molecule is attracted to?
the partially negative charge on the oxygen atom of the salt's anion. This attraction forms hydrogen bonds between the water molecule and the anion.
The compound formed two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen is?
Water (H2O) is the compound formed by two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
Is H2O salt?
No. H2O is the chemical formula for water. Table salt, sodium chloride, is NaCl.
Name the elements that are in table salt?
One atom sodium and one atom chlorine in each salt molecule.
What is the atomic no of salt?
Salt is not an element, so there is no atom number.
Does salt contain only one atom?
No. Table Salt is Sodium Chloride (NaCl) which has two atoms Sodium and Chlorine.
How is a molecule of water different from a molecule of salt?
Table salt, or NaCl, does not form molecules - rather, it is a collection of Na+ and Cl- ions in a 1:1 ratio, hence the name "ionic compound". Water, or H2O, is a molecule. It consists of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a central oxygen atom.
How does salt dissolve in water?
The water molecule is polar. The oxygen and hydrogen atoms do not share the electrons equally. The larger oxygen atom tends to hold the electrons more closely than the hydrogen atoms. This causes the oxygen end of the water molecule to be slightly negatively charged, and the hydrogen atoms to be slightly positively charged. When a salt is added to water, the slightly positive hydrogen atoms attract the negative ions of the salt, and the slightly negative oxygen atom attracts the positive ions of the salt, causing them to dissociate and dissolve in the water.
What else is water composed of besides salt?
Water is composed of one oxygon atom and two hydrogen atoms.
Compounds having an affinity for water are said to be?
Chemical affinity can refer to the tendency of an atom or compound to combine by chemical reaction with atoms or compounds of unlike composition. Example, sodium and chlorine, NaCl (table salt) Substances that have an affinity for water are hydrophilic, those that seem to repel water are hydrophobic Google hydrophilic substances and you will probably get a decent answer
