When sodium chloride and distilled water solution is evaporated what is left?

Sodium Chloride


Describe a way to remove sodium chloride?

Sodium chloride can be removed from solution by distillation. Boiling a solution of sodium chloride will cause the water to boil off and the sodium chloride to be left behind. If the water vapor is then condensed, the water obtained will be free of sodium chloride.


What residue is left after sodium chloride is heated?

After 1 413 0C pure sodium chloride is vaporized without any residue.


How do separate gold from sodium gold chloride?

You can separate gold from sodium gold chloride by adding zinc powder to the sodium gold chloride and heating the mixture. Then you will be left with just gold.


Separation technique of sodium chloride from its solution in water?

the sodium chloride mixed with water will remove its from the sulfur in fact, the sodium chloride or salt will dissolve in the water, leaving the sulfur undissolved.


Water and sodium chloride separate at what temperature?

They separate at the boiling point of water, 100o Celsius, because the water boils away and the sodium chloride is left behind.


What happens if you leave Salt and vinegar together overnight?

Not much really happens. The salt (sodium chloride) dissociates into sodium ions and chloride ions in solution. The vinegar (acetic acid) dissociates into hydrogen ions (protons) and acetate ions in solution. The solid salt will most often dissolve in the vinegar. But, that's about it. Now, if you have something like a metal in the salt and vinegar solution, the chloride ions can induce nucleophilic attack on the metal ions, resulting in corrosion of the metal. If you boiled away the water in the solution, you would be left with some proportion of sodium chloride (salt), anhydrous acetic acid, and sodium acetate.


What two minerals are left behind when a body of salt water evaporates?

The most important is sodium chloride.


How do you obtain pure crystals of sodium chloride when hdyrochloric acid is added to sodium hydroxide?

Sodium chloride is soluble in water, but zinc carbonate is not. Here is a procedure based on that simple difference in solubility. 1. Place the mixture in water and stir. The sodium chloride will dissolve. 2. Pour it through a filter. The insoluble zinc carbonate will remain on the filter, but the sodium chloride solution will pass through the filter. 3. Allow the water to evaporate from the sodium chloride solution. You are left with pure solid sodium chloride.


How is sodium extracted from sodium chloride?

To get Sodium out of Salt or NaCl you need to boil salt in water for a period of time. Once all water is evaporated eventually the Chlorine (Cl) will turn to gas and escape the compound You will be left with a pure substance of Na or sodium. Warning: Chlorine gas is toxic at even small doses so keep out of the way. I hope his is what you were looking for=]


What is salt made of?

Sodium and chlorine, hence the chemical formula NaCl.Salt is made up of Sodium chloride (NaCl), its solid form is formed by crystallisation that occurs when the NaCl in the water is left behind due to evaporation, this usually happens when water is left on rocks for a while- to every 3.78 litres there is 0.113g of NaCl (salt).I hope my answer has helped :)
