Because they are salts and thus are neutral. Also- water is also neutral.
Improve:
The above answer is not correct. Neutrality is not the issue. The reason is that sodium and potassium salts are readily soluble and will not precipitate out under normal conditions and so do not cause scale to build up in pipes and boilers. They also do not react with soap to form a scum and inhibit lathering.
The sulphate, carbonate and chloride salts of calcium and magnesium are responsible for the hardness of water. They cause something called 'permanent hardness' which is manifested by the interference with soap lathering and the formation of scum. This is due to the presence of the calcium and magnesium ions in the water which causes the precipitation of insoluble stearates from the soap. Sodium and potassium ions do not cause this effect.
The other type of hardness called 'temporary hardness' is mainly due to carbonate and bicarbonate salts of calcium and magnesium. Calcium and magnesium carbonate are less soluble in hot water than cold and will precipitate out in hot water pipes and boilers forming limescale. This is because the carbonate salts in tap water are in equilibrium with bicarbonate salts and the heating drives off carbon dioxide and breaks down the bicarbonate to the much less soluble carbonate.
What else can I help you with?
Balance equation of NaNO3 and KCl?
NaNO3(ac) + KCl(ac)-----> NaCl(ac) + KNO3(ac)
Which salt is more soluble in water KCl or KBr?
The ionic bonding causes the solubility. As the electronegative difference becomes more, the ions are easily soluble. K has more electronegativity than Na. Hence KCl is more soluble than NaCl in water
Which has the higher limiting molar conductivity-NaCl or KCl And what is the reason?
KCl has a higher limiting molar conductivity than NaCl because potassium ions are larger and less hydrated than sodium ions, allowing them to conduct electricity more effectively in solution.
Is there any pH change when KCl dissolves in water?
No there is no pH change KCl+H20--> K2O + HCl neither OH- or H+ is formed, which would make it either more acidic or more basic. KCl is a salt
Is KCl plus NaCl a buffer system?
No, a buffer system is made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. KCl and NaCl are both strong electrolytes and do not act as a buffer system when combined.
Balance equation of NaNO3 and KCl?
NaNO3(ac) + KCl(ac)-----> NaCl(ac) + KNO3(ac)
Example of ionic compuond?
NaCl KCl
What does KCl plus NaCl equal?
KNaCl2
What are salt substitues and are they okay to use along with medication?
Salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) substitutes are potassium chloride (KCl) or mixtures NaCl + KCl.
Which one has more formula units 1 g of NaCl or 1 g of KCl?
The molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol The molar mass of KCl is 74.5513 g/mol This is because the Potassium atom (K) is heavier than the Sodium atom (Na). Thus one gram of NaCl will contain more molecules (formula units) than one gram of KCl.
Why KCl or KF is added in the electrolysis of molten NaCl?
To decrease melting point of NaCl
Three examples of compound?
HCl, NaCl, KCl
What are 2 mixtures of table salt?
NaCl, KCl
What are other salts similar to NaCl?
NaNO2 and KCl
Does NaCl or KCl have a stronger bond?
As the size of Na is smaller than the size of K,NaCl will have stronger bond than KCl
Powder of nacl and kcl is dssolved in 80 ml of water and trested with 277 ml of 0.264 molar AgNO3 what is the percent by weight of the NaCl?
Sodium chloride contain chlorine and sodium.
What happens when you combine KOH and NaCl?
Nothing happens. It is still NaCl and KOH.
