What is the melting characteristic of sodium chloride?
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C.
What colour is produced when sodium is heated?
When sodium is heated, it produces a bright yellow color due to the excitation of electrons in the sodium atoms. This yellow color is characteristic of the emission spectrum of sodium.
What is a characteristic of sodium in processed foods?
Salted peanuts contain less sodium than cereals on a per-gram basis
What characteristic of soap?
One of the characteristics of soap is that chemically it is a sodium salt of higher fatty acid.
What type of nutritional problems is most characteristic of the American diet today?

Does Cottage cheese contain sodium?
You can buy cottage cheese with or without sodium. I've found that unsalted cottage cheese is very bland and kind of gross. The sodium gives it its characteristic, though still mild, flavor.
What substance is being oxidized when sodium reacts with chlorine gas?
In this reaction, sodium is being oxidized. When sodium reacts with chlorine gas, sodium atoms lose electrons to form sodium ions, and this process involves the loss of electrons, which is characteristic of oxidation.
Is salt acidic or base?
The water solution of sodium chloride is neutral.
Why do sodium oxide and sodium chloride burn the same color?
Both sodium oxide and sodium chloride contain sodium ions which exhibit a characteristic yellow color when burned. This color comes from the emission of energy as the electrons in the sodium ions transition to lower energy levels. Thus, both compounds burn with a yellow flame.
Is sodium lamp monochromatic?
No, sodium lamps are not monochromatic. They emit a broad spectrum of light, with a characteristic yellow-orange color due to the dominant emission of spectral lines in the yellow region.
What is the flame color of sodium nitrate solution?
The flame color of sodium nitrate solution is a bright yellow color. When the solution is heated, the sodium ions emit this characteristic yellow color when they are excited and then return to their ground state.
