What are the products in a decomposition reaction of table salt?

Not usually; a decomposition reaction is when you start with a single reactant and end up with two or more products. In some instances, you may have a salt (a metal bonded to a nonmetal), but this is not guaranteed.
The one reaction type that will always result in a salt being formed is a neutralization reaction, or an acid-base reaction. These reactions start with an acid and a base and result in a salt and water being formed.

The sodium and chloride ions are freely floating in the water, which makes the solution electrolytic, but no new substance has been formed. In fact, if the water is evaporated or boiled away, the salt will recombine.
This is a function of water's polarity (difference in electrical charge across the length of a water molecule,) which allows it to dissociate alkali halides and many other ionic compounds.

So two molecules of sodium chloride ( table salt ) decompose into 2 atoms of sodium and one molecule of chlorine gas.

Is salt dissolving a chemical reaction?
Yes. A salt is an ionic compound and so dissolving (or hydrolyzing) it is a chemical reaction. An example with sodium chloride (table salt): NaCl (solid) -> Na+ + Cl- The charges on the products indicate that they are aqueous (in solution). Since the reactant breaks apart into it's products, this is a dissociation reaction.
What salt is made when sodium hydroxide reacts with sulfruric acid?
sodium sulphate ( na2so4) it is a neutralisation reaction in which base + acid = salt + water it falls in the category of double decomposition reaction
What is the relationship between sodium chlorine and table salt?
Table salt is a compound formed by reaction between sodium and chlorine.
What characterizes an Arrhenius acid base reaction?
This reaction is called neutralization; the products are a salt and water.
What are the products in a reaction between an acid and base?
Salt and water
What are the products of naturalization reaction?
It always ends in a salt and water. The salt is not always NaCl (NaCl is table salt) another example is NaHSO4 (Sodium Bisulfate)
The products of a neutralization reaction are?
The products of a neutralization reaction are a salt and water.
What are products of a neutralization reaction?
The products of a neutralization reaction are a salt and water.
What are the products of neutral reaction?
Water and a corresponding salt.
What is salt?
What is salt?Salt is a chemical compound made up of sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl), or NaCl.
Is salt dissolving a chemical reaction?
Yes. A salt is an ionic compound and so dissolving (or hydrolyzing) it is a chemical reaction. An example with sodium chloride (table salt): NaCl (solid) -> Na+ + Cl- The charges on the products indicate that they are aqueous (in solution).

Is it true or false table sugar and table salt are pure substance?
Sodium Cloride
What salt is made when sodium hydroxide reacts with sulfruric acid?
sodium sulphate ( na2so4) it is a neutralisation reaction in which base + acid = salt + water it falls in the category of double decomposition reaction
How do salts react to fire?
The reaction is different for each salt: melting, thermal decomposition, explosion etc.
Is Heating a hydrous salt to obtain an anhydrous salt a chemical or physical change?
if you mean epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) then heating it will result in a decomposition reaction, where magnesium oxide (s) and sulfur trioxide (g) is formed. The decomposition reaction is therefore a chemical change.
What are the products of the following general reaction acid plus base?
The products of neutralization reaction are water and a salt.
What is the relationship between sodium chlorine and table salt?
Table salt is a compound formed by reaction between sodium and chlorine.
