Pure sodium chloride will burn and create a pure orange flame. If there are impurities present, you would see flickers or inconsistancies in the solid orange flame. Note, use a platinum wire to hold sample while burning, as a wooden split can cause these flickers if it starts to burn

How could you tell the difference between an iron chloride and sodium chloride solution?

One way to differentiate between iron chloride and sodium chloride solutions is to perform a chemical test using silver nitrate. Iron chloride solution will form a white precipitate of silver chloride, while sodium chloride solution will not react with silver nitrate. Another method is to use a flame test: iron chloride imparts a yellow color to the flame, while sodium chloride does not.


Is potassium chloride used as substitute for sodium chloride?

This is a loose question. Since the most well known use for salt is in human diet, we could start an answer in this context. To replace dietary sodium chloride salt completely with potassium could well have fatal effects. Sodium chloride is essential for the function of the nervous system. However a high sodium (ion) intake can also be fatal. In the last few years, low sodium (ion) salts have been marketed. These might have as little 35% of the sodium of typical sodium chloride table salt, the substitute for the missing sodium is sometimes purely potassium chloride and sometimes potassium with some magnesium.


What can make 20 moles of sodium chloride?

To make 20 moles of sodium chloride, you would need 20 moles of sodium ions and 20 moles of chloride ions. This could be achieved by combining 40 moles of sodium atoms with 40 moles of chlorine atoms to form 20 moles of sodium chloride.


How could you tell whether the white crystals you have are sodium chloride or sodium iodide?

One way to distinguish between sodium chloride and sodium iodide is through a simple taste test. Sodium chloride (table salt) will taste salty, while sodium iodide will have a slightly sweet and salty taste. Another method is to perform a chemical test by adding a few drops of dilute sulfuric acid; sodium chloride will produce a white precipitate, while sodium iodide will produce a yellow precipitate.


What metal can displace sodium metal from sodium chloride?

You could use potassium, rubidium or caesium. However, there is no practical reason why you would do this. You'd have to do it in the melt, which would be hazardous, as all these metals react with water.

Can sodium chloride be used to make soap instead of lye?

No, sodium chloride (table salt) cannot be used to make soap instead of lye. Lye (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) is the essential ingredient needed to saponify fats and oils to make soap. Sodium chloride does not have the same chemical properties to facilitate the soap-making process.
