When salt dissolves in water the sodium and chloride ions separate.Explain why this might occur?

The ionic lattice is broken down as the ions are solvated, forming aquo complexes. the heat of solution is slightly endo thermic so there is a small temperature drop.

What is the chemical name of rock salt?
Table salt is sodium chloride, or NaCl. It might also be called halite (which is the name of sodium chloride crystals considered as a mineral), though that's more the geological name for salt).
Is potassium chloride used as substitute for sodium chloride?
This is a loose question. Since the most well known use for salt is in human diet, we could start an answer in this context. To replace dietary sodium chloride salt completely with potassium could well have fatal effects. Sodium chloride is essential for the function of the nervous system. However a high sodium (ion) intake can also be fatal. In the last few years, low sodium (ion) salts have been marketed. These might have as little 35% of the sodium of typical sodium chloride table salt, the substitute for the missing sodium is sometimes purely potassium chloride and sometimes potassium with some magnesium.
Does sodium chloride have a high melting point?
not sure about it yet but you may try wish123. Might help you. thanks
Is sodium chloride a better de-icer than potassium chloride?
It takes less of it by weight to produce the same freezing point depression, so if that's the consideration, yes. If the consideration is cost, corrosion impact, residual toxicity, etc. then the answer might be different (actually, sodium chloride probably wins on the ones listed as well, but I'm not certain of that).
What is the chemical formula in morton iodized salt?
NaClWhile normal table salt is sodium chloride (NaCl), iodized salt has additives which supply iodine. These additives might include sodium iodide (NaI), potassium iodide (KI) or sodium or potassium iodate (NaIO3 or KIO3).

Another word for salt?
Table salt is sodium chloride- usually listed in foods as sodium. Salt in general is a neutral compound composed of ions. 'Neutral ionic compound' might work as another name.
What is the botanical name of salt?
there won't be any botanical name for common salt as it is related to chemistry, and it would only have a chemical name-sodium chloride

What is the chemical formula of common salt?
Roadsalt will sometimes be Calcium Chloride (CaCl2), Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) Potassium Chloride (KCl) or some combination of any or all of these as well. Not just the Sodium Chloride (NaCl) that we might put put on our tables.
What mineral might a person enjoy on french fries?
Granulated sodium chloride, more commonly known as "table salt".
What happens when sodium bicarbonate reacts with copper chloride?
Some Cu(HCO3)2 or CuCO3 precipitation might occur.

How you might test a sample of an unknown white solid to determine if it was table salt sodium chloride?
Ocean, grocery store, dining room table...

What happens when sodium chloride and water is heated?
The water will boil if its temperature is brought high enough. The significant difference between boiling water and boiling water with sodium chloride in it is that the NaCl water will boil sooner. Adding salt to water will lower its boiling point as well as its freezing point. This is also why the road is salted in sub zero weather: to hinder the road from becoming icy.
