How is it that pure sodium and pure chlorine are so dangerous?
Pure sodium and pure chlorine are dangerous because they are highly reactive elements. Sodium reacts violently with water to produce flammable hydrogen gas. Chlorine is a toxic gas that can cause severe respiratory irritation and damage to the lungs when inhaled. When combined, sodium and chlorine react explosively to form sodium chloride, or table salt.
Is there chlorine in salt?
No, chlorine is a chemical element found in the periodic table, and salt is a compound composed of sodium and chloride ions. Salt, or sodium chloride, contains chloride ions, which are derived from chlorine atoms, but it is not the same as pure chlorine gas.
Is there any chlorine in causic soda?
The correct spelling is 'caustic soda' which, when pure, contains only sodium, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. So no chlorine!
Is water mixed with salt an acid?
NaCl is the chemical equation for salt it is sodium and chlorine so if the water is pure then no it is not an acid
Is chlorine a heteroeneous?
No, chlorine is a pure substance and so is homogeneous.
Will chlorine react with sodium chloride?
No, chlorine will not react with sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is already composed of sodium and chlorine ions in a 1:1 ratio, so there would be no further reaction between the two.
What element is combined with chlorine in common salt?
Common salt, or table salt is sodium chloride, so you would combine sodium with chlorine.
Is salt purely sodium?
salt's chemical formula is NaCl wherein Na is Sodium and Cl is Chlorine so salt contains Sodium and Chlorine.
Has salt got metal in it?
Yes. Table salt is made up of equal parts of Sodium (a metal) and chlorine ( a gas). When these two elements bond together they form salt, which is completely different from the original ingredients. Sodium and chlorine gas are both very dangerous in pure form, but the chemical bonds between them are so strong that they are completely safe in salt form (except for the risk of high blood pressure).
Why does a sample of pure sodium need to be kept in special oil so the air can't touch it?
Pure sodium is highly reactive with air and moisture, causing it to oxidize and form a layer of sodium oxide or hydroxide. This reaction can be exothermic and can lead to a fire or explosion in the presence of air. Storing pure sodium in oil creates a barrier between the sodium and air, preventing this dangerous reaction from occurring.
Why isn't the salt working on the ice?
because the salt needs to be separated so that it can become pure. this is because there are two elements in salt (sodium and chlorine), these need to be separated.
What two atoms compose salt?
if you have periodic table of elements it will help alot. anyways salt is NaCL the Na stands for sodium and the CL stands for chlorine so it is that
