Best Answer
  • Solid at room temperature; cubic crystalline in structure; white in color.
  • Melting Point 801oC; Boiling Point 1465oC.
  • Dissolves readily in water (35.9 g/100 mL at 25oC).
  • Solubility in methanol 1.49 g/100 mL.
  • Solubility in ammonia 2.15 g/100 mL.
  • Also soluble in glycerol, ethylene, glycol, and formic acid, but insoluble in hydrochloric acid.
  • Molar mass 58.443 g/mol.
  • Neutral pH.
  • Odorless, but tastes salty.
  • Density 2.165 g/cm3.
  • Mostly non-reactive with other compounds, usually requiring the addition of energy to precipitate chemical reaction (such as the electrolysis of NaCl dissolved in water to form Chlorine gas.
  • Non-flammable
In general, it looks and behaves a lot like ordinary table salt. Because that's what it is.
