A "reaction" doesn't really occur, but the sodium chloride ionic crystal structure is broken down by the hydration energy fo the water in a process called "solution" (or dissolving). The NaCl then remains as dissociated Na+ and Cl- ions in solution (aqueous).

Can water and sodium chloride bond?

No. Sodium chloride in water dissolves into its individual Na+ ions and Cl- ions due to the polarity of the water molecule. This is not a bonding between water and sodium chloride. In fact there is no chemical reaction at all taking place. The dissolving of the sodium and chloride ions by water is a physical change, and can be reversed by letting the water evaporate.


If chlorine gas is bubbled through an aqueous solution of sodium iodide the result is elemental iodine and aqueous sodium chloride solution what kind of reaction took place?

Single-replacement


What is the molecular equation for the reaction of mercury nitrate with sodium chloride?

I think there is no such reaction because both of the products are soluble. For one of these reactions to take place, one of the products should be a sediment or a gas.

Where do you see sodium chloride?

The easiest and most common place to view sodium chloride is in a salt shaker. It's table salt.


What kind of reaction takes place when sodium chloride dissolves in water?

There is NO real chemical reaction when NaCl dissolves, it is only ionized (split into ions):NaCls + [H2Oliq] --> Na+aq + Cl-aq + [H2Oliq]
