Well, if you heat it enough, it'll melt.

What is the difference between sterile water and sodium chloride?

Sterile water is pure water that does not contain any additives, while sodium chloride is a salt solution made by dissolving salt in water. Sterile water is commonly used for irrigation and dilution purposes, while sodium chloride is used for intravenous infusions and to replenish electrolytes.


Is sodium and chloride an element or a compound or a mixture?

Sodium is an element, as it consists of just one type of atom. Its symbol is Na, atomic number 11. A compound on the other hand is two or more elements that have chemically bonded together, while a mixture can be defined as two or more substances that have been brought together, but have not reacted chemically to form a new substance.


Can potassium chloride be used in lieu of sodium chloride in salt water pool systems?

There is a system available now that uses a mixture of Magnesium chloride and potassium chloride instead of the old Potassium chloride we have been using it in our pool for about 5 months and the results are great Ive never seen the water as good without any problems whatsoever. I am not sure however if the electrodes need to be different in the chlorine generator to do what you are thinking of. The system I am talking about is called Magnablu. It is originally German but was handled handled by Poolrite in Australia. Poolrite Autralia however has gone to the wall and I don't know who took this part of their business over. Dragonfly.biz had dealings with them and may perhaps be able to help.


Is sodium acetate organic or inorganic?

Sodium chloride contains only sodium and chlorine and so is inorganic. In order for a compound to be organic it must contain carbon and hydrogen.


Is sodium in sodium ascorbate dangerous to the kidneys?

No, in fact it may help hypertension. It is Sodium (Na+ Cation) plus Chloride (Cl- Anion) that can cause hypertension. In studies it has been shown that high dietary sodium chloride increases blood pressure but sodium ascorbate and sodium bicarbonate doesn't. It has also been shown that hypertensive patients have lower ascobate levels (vit C) in their blood than normotensive patients. Dr. Mark Edmond - Family Physician

What has been the effect of heating NaCl?

This is dependent on if the heat reaches a temperature of 1,474 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the melting point. Generally it will cause the compound to brown.


Can you cut sodium chloride into shapes other than perfect cubes?

Yes, of course. Large sculptures have been made from sodium chloride.


Does sodium have the same characteristics as soidum chloride?

No they are not. For starters, their names are different. Secondly, in one molecule of sodium chloride (NaCl), there is one atom of sodium to each chloride atom. In sodium hydroxide (NaOH), there is one sodium atom, one oxygen atom, and one hydrogen atom. Sodium chloride is known as salt, and sodium hydroxide is known as lye, or caustic soda.


IS STERIL WATER THE SAME AS 0.9 SODIUM CHLORIDE?

No, not even similar. Sodium chloride is common salt. Sterile water is water that has been totally purified.


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 is salt split technique?

It is a method used to split a salt ( for example sodium chloride ) in the corresponding ACID and BASE (i.e Hydrochloric acid and Sodium chloride in the example which has been taken ) . It is an eletrochemical process where we use ANION EXCHANGE MEMBRANES and CATION EXCHANGE MEMBRANES to serve our purpose of separating the Sodium and Chloride ions.


Does sodium chloride crystals conduct electricity?

It cannot as the ions are not free moving and thus there is nothing to carry the charge. However when in its solution form, or melted, there are free moving ions as the bonds have been broken down, and so in an aqueous state it will conduct.


Is there any alkali metal in table salt?

Table salt is sodium chloride; sodium is a metalic element and chlorine is a non-metallic element.Table salt is sodium (an explosive metal) combined with chlorine (a poisonous gas). Sodium is Na; Chlorine is Cl. So table salt is NaCl.This element is sodium (Na).This element is sodium (Na).


Why will you not become sick if you eat sodium chloride even though chloride is poisonous?

Chlorine gas is highly toxic, but in table salt it has been rendered into the chloride ion, which is much less reactive.

Is sodium cloride harmful if swallowed?

Yes, swallowing large amounts of sodium chloride (table salt) can be harmful as it can lead to sodium poisoning, which can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases, seizures or even death. It is important to keep sodium chloride out of reach of young children to prevent accidental ingestion.
