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.
What else can I help you with?
What does salinity mean in science?
Salinity is the measure of salt concentration in water
How much sodium chloride and other salts are dissolved in a water sample is the water's?
The concentration of salts dissolved in a water sample is referred to as salinity. Salinity is typically measured in parts per thousand (ppt) or in grams per liter (g/L) and includes sodium chloride, as well as other salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium sulfate.
What are the uses of sodium chloride injection?
Rehydration of the organism: adding water and sodium to blood.
The two most common ions found in ocean water are --?
Sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) ions are the two most common ions found in ocean water. Sodium and chloride combine to form salt, which gives seawater its characteristic taste and salinity.
The salinity of ocean water is due to high concentrations of?
The salinity of ocean water is primarily due to high concentrations of dissolved salts, such as sodium and chloride. Other substances like magnesium, calcium, and sulfate also contribute to the overall salinity of the oceans. Processes like evaporation, precipitation, and volcanic activity can influence the salinity levels in different regions of the ocean.
How can a mixture of oil and sodium chloride be separated?
Adding water and mixing a two-phases liquid mixture is obtained; sodium chloride is in the water phase. The separation is possible by decantation.
If solid sodium hydroxide were added to neutralize the HCl would this reverse the reaction and cause the sodium chloride to redissolve?
No, adding solid sodium hydroxide to neutralize hydrochloric acid (HCl) would not cause sodium chloride to redissolve. The reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid forms water and sodium chloride, which remains in its dissolved form. The addition of solid sodium hydroxide would simply further neutralize the acid and increase the concentration of the resulting sodium chloride solution.
Can you add salt to distilled water to raise salinity levels or does it have to be a natural salt?
you can, it can be any salt dissolved in water, including sodium chloride
What factors affect the salinity of sea water near the shore?
the dissolved salts also known as ions not sodium and chloride.
What is sodium chloride plus water?
Sodium chloride form with water saline solutions.
What is the most common salt in ocean water?
The most abundant dissolved salt in ocean water is sodium chloride. It is a colorless crystalline compound with the chemical formula of NaCl.
What happens to high salinity water wean it is in the same area as low salinity water?
What happens is, the high salinity water (hyper tonic solution), mixes with the low salinity water (Hypo tonic solution), and eventually the sodium and chloride ions will slowly move into the lower salt water, and create a uniformly salty water.
