Hexane is non polar compound and benzene also non polar compound so non polar comp's soluble in non polar reagents. But sodium chloride is ionic so does nt dissolve benzene in it

Why does sodium chloride not dissolve in non-polar solvents?
because sodium chloride itself is madee up of positive sodium and negative chloride ions
What will happen when sodium chloride is added to solution of weak acid?
The sodium chloride will dissolve as it does in ordinary water.
How do you separate sodium chloride and silver chloride?
Sodium chloride is moderately soluble in water, ~37 g / 100mL whereas silver chloride is not very soluble in water.Take the mixture of sodium chloride and silver chloride and shake or stir well with water;filter;rinse the sediment;This sediment is the silver chloride.To retrieve the sodium chloride:evaporate the water.
What happens to the weight of sodium chloride when it is exposed to air?
it will dissolve
Will sodium chloride dissolve in diethyl ether?
No. Sodium chloride is polar, whereas diethyl ether is non-polar. Unlike solutes do not dissolve in unlike solvent. Only "like dissolves like".
Is sodium chloride soluble in benzene?
Sodium chloride is not soluble in benzene.
Is NaCl soluble in cyclohexane?
NaCl is NOT soluble in hexane. We did this experiment in my chemistry class so I know this statement is definitely correct, however I'm not sure why. I know it has something to do with the ionic bonding of sodium chloride being able to overcome the single bonds of hexane.
Does ionic compounds dissolve in organic solvent?
No they don't. They only dissolve in water. For example, sodium chloride is not soluble in hexane. Therefore we can separate the two by filtration :)
Did NaCl soluble in hexane?
Sodium chloride is not soluble in hexane.
Why isn't sodium chloride soluble in benzene?
Benzene is nonpolar, so its molecules do not have any strong attraction to sodium chloride, which is ionic.
How do you explain sodium chloride is soluble in water but not in hexane?
Sodium chloride is soluble in water because both have polar molecules; but not in hexane becuse it is nonpolar.
What property is sodium chloride dissolve in water?
Sodium chloride is an ionic, polar compound.
Why is it that sodium chloride does not dissolve when heated?
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C.
Will calcium carbonate be dissolve in sodium chloride?
No, it wont dissolve.
Would sodium chloride and hexane form a solution?
No, they would not form a solution.
What happens when solid sodium chloride is mixed with water?
the solid sodium chloride will dissolve in water.
Does sodium chloride dissolve in cold water?
Sodium chloride is very soluble in hot water.
