How do you say that sodium chloride is a compound and not a mixture?
The components of sodium chloride (sodium and chlorine) are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio and definite structure. A mixture does not have these traits.
Is sodium chloride a homogenous compound?
Yes, but it is redundant to say "homogeneous compound" as a compound is, by definition, homogeneous.
Iron 3 chloride plus sodium hydroxide equals?
FeCl3 + 3NaOH -> Fe(OH)3 + 3NaCl I should say
Why don't you call table salt sodium chlorine?
Mainly because it is sodium chloride and salt is much easier to say.
What is a sulfate free and sodium chloride free shampoo?
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!
Will adding sodium to chloride in water give salinity of the water?
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.
Which is present in sea water in greater amount between sodium chloride and calsium?
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
Would it be correct to say a molecule of NaCl?
yes of course, provided you pronounce NaCl as "sodium chloride."
What is the structural formula of NaCl?
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)
How can you say sodium chloride is a compound?
Because it is a definite substance formed from two different atoms: Na and Cl.
Is salt indestructible?
No. It has a melting point, which is relatively high, and it can be dissolved in water. Once disolved in water, to form a Sodium chloride solution, if some other substance, such as Silver nitrate could be added which would produce a Sodium nitrate solution and a precipitate of Silver chloride. If this were done carefully no Sodium chloride would remain so you could say that it had been "destroyed."
Is sulfate free and sodium chloride free shampoo the same?
Sodium Chloride is the scientific name for table salt. Sodium laurel sulfate is a detergent that is said to be a carcinogen (though the CTFA, American Cancer Association, and several toxicology studies say this is an urban legend). However, sodium laurel sulfate does contain low (parts-per-thousand to parts-per-million) amounts of a probable human carcinogen, and the USDA recommends manufacturers of products containing sodium laurel sulfate to remove it from the products. Besides both containing sodium in their chemical formulas, sodium chloride and sodium laurel sulfate have little to nothing in common. Beyond the fact that you would be putting salt into your hair, I would be more worried about sodium laurel sulfate than sodium chloride.
