Sodium and chlorine can be separated from NaCl by electrolisys.
NaCl---------------→Na+ + Cl-
The equation is: NaCl----------Na++ Cl-
Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl NaCl = salt.
NaCl --> Na+ + Cl- You could write water on either side I suppose, but it is negligible. I've also seen H2O written over the arrow.
NaCl-----------------Na+ + Cl-is a dissociation reaction.
The oxidation number of Na in NaCl is +1, while the oxidation number of Cl in NaCl is -1.
It easily dissolves and is disassociated.
The cation, or positively charged ion, in NaCl is Na+.
NaCl is just the scientific compound for table salt, but if those molecules are separate they can be dangerous if eaten.
An example is the dissociation of NaCl in water: NaCl (s) -> Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq). Here, NaCl breaks apart into its constituent ions, Na+ and Cl-, when dissolved in water due to the attraction between the ions and water molecules.
Yes, NaCl is an electrolyte.
Sodium chloride is dissociated in water:NaCl-------------------------------------Na+ + Cl-
