Sodium Chloride is an ionic salt that has a lattice (crystal) structure composed of alternating sodium cations and negative chloride anions (Na+ Cl-). Water (H2O) is a polar molecule, which means it has an uneven charge distribution (i.e. the oxygen is more negatively charged than the 2 hydrogen atoms that have a slightly positive charge). The negative (oxygen) end of water is attracted to the positive sodium ion in the salt, extracts it from the lattice and more water molecules surround it (i.e. "dissolve" it). The same is true for the positive (hydrogen) end of water and the negative chloride ion in the salt. These positive and negative attractions allow for NaCl to dissolve in water. However, benzene (C6H6) is a non-polar molecule, which means it has an even charge distribution (i.e. no positive or negative sides). Without these charges, the benzene molecule is not really attracted to the salt crystals and thus the salt remains in a crystal form and does not dissolve. S.M.

Barium chloride and sodium sulphate in water react to give insoluble barium sulphate and the solution of sodium chloride?
Yes, it is true. The equation of reaction is :- BaCl2 + Na2SO4 --------> 2NaCl(aq.) + BaSO4 where solution is of sodium chloride and Barium sulphate settles down at the bottom as precipitate

By filtration barium sulfate being insoluble in water.
How do you remove sodium chloride from calcium stearate?
To remove sodium chloride from calcium stearate, you can dissolve the mixture in water. Sodium chloride is water-soluble, so it will dissolve in the water while calcium stearate remains insoluble. By filtering the solution, you can separate the sodium chloride from the calcium stearate.
