Other words: table salt, edible salt, rock salt, halite etc.
Yes, but it is redundant to say "homogeneous compound" as a compound is, by definition, homogeneous.
Iron (III) chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide to form iron (III) hydroxide and sodium chloride in a double displacement reaction. The balanced chemical equation is 2FeCl3 + 6NaOH → 2Fe(OH)3 + 6NaCl.
Sodium chloride has strong ionic bonds between its sodium and chloride ions, resulting in strong intermolecular forces. These forces make sodium chloride a solid at room temperature with a high melting point.
NaCl sodium chloride
Mainly because it is sodium chloride and salt is much easier to say.
Salinity (or 'saltiness') is due to the compound sodium chloride, written NaCl, and adding more of this will increase the salinity. However never add metallic sodium to water, it produces a violent and dangerous reaction. So when you say 'adding sodium to chloride' I'm not sure what you mean. The compound sodium chloride is just cooking salt and quite harmless and you can add as much of that as you like, but sodium as an element is a different matter.
I would say sodium chloride as it is also known as salt-water, calcium is found in chalky cliffs "white cliffs of dover", so near there may be a high amount but sodium chloride would be in greater amounts in the majority of sea water
Organix makes two types that are both sulfate free and sodium chloride free. They're both ever straight, one is a brown bottle and one is a pink bottle, but they both say sodium chloride and sodium free on the bottom above the Organix label!
Sodium Chloride is standard table salt. It is simply NaCl. You cannot however say salt in chemistry as the likes of Potassium Bromide, Copper sulphate, Hexamine are all considered salts (Many many many more)
Because it is a definite substance formed from two different atoms: Na and Cl.
The transfer of electrons from sodium atoms to chlorine atoms results in the formation of sodium cations and chloride anions. This creates an ionic bond between the two atoms, forming sodium chloride, or table salt.
Well...depends who you ask :P. I guess two. Sodium Chloride is NaCl. It's an "ionic compound" which means the atoms are not covalently bonded, they actually exist as Na+ and Cl-. At this point, it's worth mentioning that an ion is any charged species. Positive or negative, they're both ions. The reason it's a bone of contention is because bonding is not black and white. Covalent or ionic...it's a sliding scale and you can't just say where one begins and the other ends. That said, it is widely accepted that NaCl is a highly ionic bond.
