NaCl
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) or table saltand by the way the elements name is chlorine not 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.
Sodium reacts violently with water, while sodium chloride (or table salt) dissolves in water.
To show sodium chloride in aqueous solution, you would write it as NaCl(aq), where (aq) denotes that it is dissolved in water. This indicates that sodium chloride has dissociated into its respective ions, Na+ and Cl-, in the aqueous solution.
NaCl sodium chloride
The reaction with sodium is that there starts to be fire on the water, so it acts violently. Sodium chloride dissolves in water, because it is salt (table salt).
The reactants in this hypothetical reaction are sodium and chlorine. See the related question for details on a better way to make sodium chloride in practice.

One way to differentiate between iron chloride and sodium chloride solutions is to perform a chemical test using silver nitrate. Iron chloride solution will form a white precipitate of silver chloride, while sodium chloride solution will not react with silver nitrate. Another method is to use a flame test: iron chloride imparts a yellow color to the flame, while sodium chloride does not.
Sodium reacts vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. This reaction is exothermic and gives off heat. On the other hand, sodium chloride dissolves in water to form a clear solution without a visible reaction.
A litmus test is one way of comparing. Sodium Chloride is a neutral salt and so would have no effect on litmus. Sodium Hydroxide is a base, and would turn litmus blue.
One way to obtain sodium chloride from a mixture of sodium chloride and sulfur without using water is by sublimation. Heating the mixture to a temperature where sulfur sublimes but sodium chloride does not can separate the two components. The sublimed sulfur can be collected separately, leaving behind sodium chloride.
