Yes, salt dissociates in water, meaning it breaks apart into its ions (sodium and chloride). This process allows salt to conduct electricity in water and affects properties like boiling point and freezing point.

Why do salts dissociate in water and what factors influence this process?

Salts dissociate in water because water molecules surround and pull apart the ions in the salt, breaking the ionic bonds. Factors that influence this process include the type of salt, temperature, and the concentration of the salt solution.


What is salt water a mixture or solution?

A solution. The salt molecules dissociate into ions in the water.


Is salt water a mixture or solution or a mixture?

Salt goes into solution in water. That makes a salt and water solution of salt water, unless there is too much salt to completely dissolve in the water. In that case, it will be a mixture of salt and salt water.Saltwater is technically both a solution and a mixture, since all solutions are mixtures, or physical rather than chemical combinations of substances. However, the more narrow use of the term "mixture" excludes both solutions and alloys.


What is true regarding the dissolution of a salt ionic solid in water?

When a salt ionic solid dissolves in water, the ions in the solid dissociate into solution due to the attraction between water molecules and the charged ions. This process is driven by the ions being more stable in solution than in the solid state. The dissolution of a salt in water is typically an exothermic process, releasing energy in the form of heat.


When a soluble metallic salt is added to water its electrical conductivity decreases?

No. Its electrical conductivity increases because the positive and negative ions of the salt dissociate in the water.


A substance like salt that breaks apart ans releases ions when put into water is called what?

A soluble salt or a soluble ionic compound. An insoluble salt/ionic compound will not dissociate in water.


Nitric acid hydrochloric acid sulfuric acid propane gas table salt what is a nonelectrolyte?

All the acids (nitric,hydrochloric,sulfuric) dissociate in water thus are electrolytes. Table salt (NaCl) also dissociates. Propane is a gas at RT and is nonpolar, does not dissociate in water and thus it is a nonelectrolyte


Why is water not an ion?

Ions are electrically charged atoms. Water is a solute. Ions are put in water to dissociate to make salt water, sugar water or kool aid.


Is MgS insoluble?

No, MgS is soluble in water. Magnesium sulfide (MgS) is a salt that can dissociate into its ions (Mg2+ and S2-) in water, making it soluble.


Salt dissolves in water because it is?

polar and forms hydration shells with water molecules. This disrupts the ionic bonds holding the salt together, allowing it to dissociate into its constituent ions, sodium and chloride.


How separate mixture of salt and aluminium?

Pour the mixture into a conatiner of water. The salt will dissociate and dissolve because it's an ionic (polar) compound, and polar water will take care of it. The aluminum will settle to the bottom.


What process did you use in separating salt from water?

Boil the water so that the salt can recrystallize thus separating the salt from water (evaporation).
