When salt dissolves in water, it's a physical reaction. The salt separates into sodium and chloride (Na+ and Cl-) ions, and the water remains just as it was. Nothing happens to the water in a salt solution.

Does NaCl dissociate in water?

Yes, NaCl (sodium chloride) dissociates in water, meaning it breaks apart into its ions (sodium and chloride) when dissolved in water.


What is the use of sodium chloride in water?

Sodium chloride doesn't react with water; in water NaCl is dissolved and dissociated in ions.Sodium chloride doesn't react with water; sodium chloride is dissolved and dissociated in water.


When sodium chloride is dissolved in water the solution is homogeneous?

The sodium chloride solution of sodium chloride in water is homogeneous.


What compounds in the liquid phase can be considered an electrolyte carbon dioxide sodium chloride distilled water or hydrogen peroxide?

Sodium chloride and hydrogen peroxide can be considered electrolytes in the liquid phase because they dissociate into ions when dissolved in water and enable the conduction of electricity. Carbon dioxide and distilled water do not dissociate into ions in the liquid phase, so they are not considered electrolytes.


What is NaCl plus H2O plus CO2 (g)?

When NaCl (sodium chloride) is dissolved in water (H2O) along with carbon dioxide (CO2 gas), the resulting solution will contain sodium ions, chloride ions, water molecules, and dissolved carbon dioxide molecules. Sodium chloride will dissociate into sodium and chloride ions in water, while carbon dioxide will dissolve to form carbonic acid, altering the pH of the solution.


How are Sodium Chloride crystals dissociate?

In water solution, sodium chloride crystals dissociate into sodium cations and chloride anions.


Can dissolved salt separate into sodium and chloride when it has electrical current running through it?

Sodium Chloride dissolved in water will form sodium but sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, molten sodium chloride will do it .


What happends when sodium chloride dessolves in water?

Is sodium chloride conductible?

Sodium chloride is conductible: - when is dissolved in water - when is melted


Does sodium chloride conduct electricity when it is dissolved?

Sodium chloride when dissolved in water forms an electrolyte that conducts electricity.


What one is considered a electrolyte carbon dioxide sodium chloride distilled water hydrogen peroxide?

Sodium chloride is considered an electrolyte because it dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride) when dissolved in water, allowing it to conduct electricity. Carbon dioxide, distilled water, and hydrogen peroxide do not dissociate into ions in water and therefore are not considered electrolytes.
