Since sodium chloride has an ionic bond, each component of the salt is charged. Water molecules are polar: one side of the molecule is slightly positive, the other is slightly negative. A water molecule will orient itself so that it's negative or positive side is pointed to the oppositely charged atom on the sodium chloride molecule. It takes many water molecules, but eventually the water will create enough of a pull on each of the atoms in the salt molecule to tear it apart.

∙ 15y agoSalt (NaCl) is held together by an ionic bond. The polarity of the water allows for a dissociation of the ionic bond and the salt dissolves.

When sugar is dissolved in water water is called a?
When sugar is dissolved in water, water is called a SOLVENT
How could a sugar cube be dissolved more quickly in water?
The water can be heated, the mixture can be stirred, and the sugar can be broken up into small pieces.
What happens when sugar is stirred into water?
The sugar will dissolve in water because sugar is polar and so is water with hydrogen bonds. When attraction happens, the water molecules will separate the sugar molecules and the sugar will be dissolved.
When alcohol dissolved in water why temperature of alcohol is increased?
The hydrogen bonds between water molecules and respectively hydrogen bonds between ethanol molecules are broken by mixing; new hydrogen bonds are formed between water and ethanol molecules - this second process is exothermic.
What properties do not change when sugar is dissolved in water?
The property of sweetness of sugar does not change when it is dissolved in water. Although sugar becomes invisible in the solution in water.
What happens sugar is added to water?
The sugar will dissolve in water because sugar is polar and so is water with hydrogen bonds. When attraction happens, the water molecules will separate the sugar molecules and the sugar will be dissolved.

The sugar will dissolve in water because sugar is polar and so is water with hydrogen bonds. When attraction happens, the water molecules will separate the sugar molecules and the sugar will be dissolved.
When sugar is dissolved in water is it a new substance?
No. The SUBSTANCE is still water, only now sugar is dissolved in it.
When alcohol dissolved in water why temperature of alcohol is increased?
The hydrogen bonds between water molecules and respectively hydrogen bonds between ethanol molecules are broken by mixing; new hydrogen bonds are formed between water and ethanol molecules - this second process is exothermic.
When sugar is dissolved in water the sugar is?
The solute.
What properties do not change when sugar is dissolved in water?
The property of sweetness of sugar does not change when it is dissolved in water. Although sugar becomes invisible in the solution in water.
When sugar is dissolved in water to form a sugar solution what name do we give to the water?
Sweet water. Saturated or unsaturated solution, depending on the amount of sugar dissolved in the water.
If sugar is dissolved in water which component will be the solute and which will be the solvent?
Water is the solvent, and sugar is the solute.
When sugar is dissolved in water is it solute or solvent?
The sugar is the solute and the water is the solvent. Whatever is dissolved is the solute, and whatever the solute is dissolved in is the solvent. The solvent dissolves the solute.
What is a sugar solution?
Sugar in water forms a sweet syrup. The more sugar dissolved into the water the thicker (and more syrupy) it will become.
