Do ethanol and NaCl mix?

No, they are immiscible.


Solubility of Nacl in ethanol?

The solubility of salt in ethanol is very low - 0,65 g/L.


Is ethanol the same as salt water?

No, it is not. Salt water is NaCl and H2O, while ethanol is C2H5OH.


Why can water dissolve NaCl and ethanol?

Water can dissolve NaCl because it has polar molecular structure which allows it to interact with the ions in NaCl, breaking the ionic bonds. Ethanol is a polar molecule as well, making it able to dissolve NaCl through similar polar interactions. Ethanol can also dissolve in water due to its polar characteristics and ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.


What can you expect when testing the solubility of NaCl in ethanol?

The solubility of salt in ethanol is very low - 0,65 g/L.


Is sodium chloride is soluble in ether?

Sodium chloride is highly polar (ionic in fact) where hexane is very not. The two don't attract at all, so each is insoluble in the other.


How many grams of NaCl will dissolve in 100 ml of ethanol?

The answer is 0,065 g.


Is sodium chloride transparent when added to ethanol?

Sodium chloride (NaCl or table salt) doesn't even dissolve in ethanol. So it just stays in there. NOT TRANSPARENT


Which is more soluble in water CH3CH2OH or NaCl?

Sodium chloride is very soluble in water. For ethanol the term soluble is not so adequate: water and ethanol are totally miscible.

"insoluble"


Is NaCl soluble in alcohol?

Sodium chloride is very low soluble in ethanol: only 0,65 g/L at 20 0C.


Why does NaCl have a lower freezing point than ethanol?

Because whoever told you this is an idiot or lives in an alternative universe.NaCl is a solid at room temperature. Ethanol is a liquid at room temperature. NaCl, as an ionic compound, has a higherfreezing point than a covalently bonded compound such as ethanol.Another possibility is that you didn't understand what was said and left out some words in your question. If you add an equal number of moles of sodium chloride and ethanol to the same amount of water, the sodium chloride solution will have a lower freezing point for several reasons, chief among them that sodium chloride dissociates in water and ethanol doesn't.
