Solid sodium chloride has a structure where each Na is attracted to the six Cl that surround it and vice versa, to make it melt you must provide enough energy to allow these bonds to be rearanged so that the atoms can move around. Once you break all of the bonds the NaCl will evaporate.
What else can I help you with?
How does NaCl melt ice?
Yes, because the heat of dissolution in water of NaCl is released and the freezing point of water lowered.
What happens if NaCl is heated to long?
If you heat NaCl to 801 degrees C, it will melt and if heated to 1413 degrees C, it will boil. You can definitely melt salt in a Bunsen burner flame in one class period, but heating it to boiling would take some time.
Why doesn't table salt melt easy?
Table salt (NaCl) is an ionic solid. Ionic solids are held by electrostatic forces of attraction. These forces are very strong and account for the high melting point of NaCl.
What happens when NaCl is heated?
If you heat it to 801 degrees Celsius, it melts.
What temperature does salt freeze at?
Table salt (NaCl) melts (or freezes) at 801o C. Salt is difficult to melt because it is an ionic compound. Ionic bonds are the strongest.
How many grams are in 0.48 moles if NaCl?
1 mole NaCl = 58.44g NaCl0.48mol NaCl x 58.44g NaCl/1mol NaCl = 28g NaCl
Why is the electrical conductivity of NaCl different when it is molten or dissolved in water?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte; water solution of NaCl is an electrolyte (also melted NaCl).
Which is faster to melt glucose or sodium chloride?
Glucose (Melting point: 146° C) will melt faster than NaCl (Melting point: 801° C)
Which formula and name of the chemical sold as ice-melt?
It's a mix of mostly NaCl and a little CaCO3
How mny moles are in 23.34 of NaCl?
I'm going to assume that you mean 23.34g of NaCl. 1 mole NaCl = 58.442g NaCl (the atomic weight of Na and Cl in grams) 23.34g NaCl x (1mol NaCl/58.442g NaCl) = 0.3994mol NaCl
How many formula units in 3.6 grams of NaCl?
1 mole NaCl = 58.443g NaCl = 6.022 x 1023 formula units NaCl 3.6g NaCl x 1mol NaCl/58.443g NaCl x 6.022 x 1023 formula units NaCl/mol NaCl = 3.7 x 1022 formula units NaCl
What is NaCl salt use for?
Sodium chloride is common table salt, used to season foods. It is also used as a food preservative. It is in the tissue fluids and blood of animals. It is used in cold climates on icy roads to melt the ice. There are many, many uses for NaCl. Please refer to the related links below.
