They both allow ions to be mobile and thus allowing them to be conductors of electricity.
Dissolving a salt (NaCl, CaCl2) in water the heat of dissolution is released and the melting point of ice is then decreased.
Dissolving of NaCl is considered a chemical process.
Dissolving is a physical process.
NaCl has the highest melting point (between NaCl and H2O)
The chemical composition of a solution made by dissolving NaCl in water is sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H2O).
NaCl, common table salt, has a rather high melting point. The substance with the lowest melting point is helium. Helium has no solid phase, it melts at any temperature above absolute zero.
Melting and dissolving are not the same. Melting is the process of a solid turning into a liquid due to heat, while dissolving is when a solid substance mixes with a liquid to form a solution.
dissolving
Dissolving NaCl in water is a physical change, not a chemical change. The NaCl molecules remain the same chemically, but the arrangement of the particles changes as they interact with water molecules.
like melting
Sodium chloride is dissociated in water: NaCl---------------Na+ + Cl-
Adding calcium chloride lowers the melting point of NaCl because it forms a eutectic mixture, where the two salts combine to create a lower melting point than either salt individually. This is due to the disruption of the crystal lattice structure of NaCl by the presence of calcium chloride.
