What happen to the sodium chloride crystals when added to 10 ml of water?

When sodium chloride crystals are added to water, they dissolve due to the polar nature of water molecules. The chloride ions become surrounded by water molecules with their negative ends facing outward, while the sodium ions are surrounded with their positive ends facing outward. This process results in the formation of a clear, salty solution.


What happens if distilled water gets added to sodium chloride?

If distilled water is added to sodium chloride, the sodium chloride will dissolve in the water, breaking down into its constituent ions (sodium and chloride). This process forms a solution of saltwater, where the sodium and chloride ions are dispersed throughout the water.


Can sodium chloride be used to make soap instead of lye?

No, sodium chloride (table salt) cannot be used to make soap instead of lye. Lye (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) is the essential ingredient needed to saponify fats and oils to make soap. Sodium chloride does not have the same chemical properties to facilitate the soap-making process.


Is sodium chloride a liquid gas solid or aqueous?

Sodium Chloride is not a gas solid. It is in crystalline form which when heated, becomes molten. It never evaporates to give Sodium Chloride gas i.e. NaCl.


What shape do you think smaller pieces chipped from a large crystal of sodium chloride will have?

They will have the same structure as they are each the same compound. The ionic lattice will not change from one to the next.
