During heating the internal energy is increased, the ordering of the chemical entities in the crystal lattice is destroyed and the substance is melted.

How will you separate naphthalene from mixture of naphthalene and sodium chloride?

Naphthalene can be separated from sodium chloride by sublimation. When the mixture is heated, naphthalene will sublimate, turning from a solid to a gas, and can be collected separately from the solid sodium chloride.


Why does solid sodium chloride melt when heated strongly?

Solid sodium chloride melts when heated strongly because the heat energy supplied overcomes the strong electrostatic forces holding the ions in the lattice structure together. This causes the lattice to break down, allowing the sodium and chloride ions to move more freely, turning the solid into a liquid.


Is sodium chloride a liquid gas solid or aqueous?

Sodium Chloride is not a gas solid. It is in crystalline form which when heated, becomes molten. It never evaporates to give Sodium Chloride gas i.e. NaCl.


What method will separate ammonium chloride from sodium chloride?

Ammonium chloride can be separated from sodium chloride using a method called sublimation. When the mixture is heated, ammonium chloride sublimates, turning directly from solid to gas, while sodium chloride remains solid. The gaseous ammonium chloride can then be cooled and collected as a solid again, effectively separating it from sodium chloride. This method takes advantage of the differing physical properties of the two salts.

What does sodium chloride become when heated?

When heated, sodium chloride (table salt) remains as solid salt. When heated to very high temperatures, around 801°C (1474°F), it will melt into a liquid form. Only when it reaches the extreme temperature of 1465°C (2669°F) does it decompose into its constituent elements, sodium and chlorine.


Can solid sodium chloride conduct elcetricity?
